Just a bit of thinking out loud, but I wonder if a RECURSIVE CTE could be used to generate the number, somehow. WITH RECURSIVE counter(x) AS ) SELECT 1 AS x UNION ALL SELECT x+1 FROM counter) SELECT x AS uniqueNo FROM counter OUTER LEFT JOIN ( SELECT a.col1 AS col1 , b.col2 as col2 FROM table1 AS a JOIN table2 AS b ON a.col3 = b.col3) AS joinTable ORDER BY col1; That may well not work. I don't have anything around to try it on. And, at 06:23 local time, with insufficient caffeine intake, that is the best that I can do so far. -- There is nothing more pleasant than traveling and meeting new people!
