Hi Michael,

this drop-in is great, it does exactly what I need.  It just has a
small problem in that the variable 'rownum' is not allowed in oracle,
it produces a
DatabaseError: (DatabaseError) ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where
expected
Replacing 'rownum' with 'ora_rn' or something similar fixes this
problem.

What would be the safest way to get access to the table/model for
which the query was created?
I found that  "element._froms[0]" is a pointer to my table, is this a
good/stable/portable way to get hold of it? This way I could just
instrument my model (aka hint) so see whether I need the ROW_NUMBER
approach or not.
