Yeah, that's fairly easy to work around though. Assuming you know

If you've got a program handling this why don't you just count them as you
retrieve them?
So I guess I have to write my own function, "current_row()", using the
sqlite3_create_function() APIs?

You're right. I thought it was the row number of the result set, it's not:
D:\temp\convention>sqlite3 test.db
SQLite version 3.0.8

there are already rows in tableB. This is a fairly easy problem to
solve using intermediate tables though.

I want this to result in the following being added to tableB:
Value | Ordering
5 1
8 2
9 3
etc
Any ideas?

I think you should register a new functions
Is there any way to SELECT out the row number of returned results in a
query?
For example:
SELECT row_number(), value from some_table;
1 ValueA
2 ValueB
3 ValueC
... etc ... ??
What I really want this for is a query where I am inserting from table A
into table B, and table B has a column
10 matches
