SQL tables do not have row numbers.  The only way to absolutely
identify a record is by a unique ID in the record.

SQL queries have row numbers, but the only way to guarantee a
particular record appears in the same row every time you do the query
is by adding an "ORDER BY unique_column" clause.

Just add an INTEGER AUTO_INCREMENT column to your table and use that
when you want a particular record.
