A bit of bitterness here: Jim, do you know that SELECT doesn't
guarantee rows to be returned in any particular order unless ORDER BY
clause is used? It's even not guaranteed that the same SELECT without
ORDER BY issued twice will return rows in the same order. So when you
do
SELECT * FROM

By the way, string literals (text) in SQL should be
delimited by single quotes, not double quotes. Double quotes
are used to allow reserved words

Now on the table phonebook I can do a query:
SELECT rowid FROM phonebook where last_name = Smith and first_name =
John;
That's good to now about the automatic rowid. I can certainly create a
new column in phonebook that shows the row number with id INTEGER
PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT. However, I'd really would like to do the same

I believe that a view is just a window into
