When I use select and get a result set ,then I found a column that
indicate the row number in the result set is needed.This is for
reporting.
Is there a function which can fetch the row number in the result set ?
thanks.

There is no "row number" in MySQL (and in SQL in general, although some
RDBMSs have implemented one). But you can put in an autoincrement
column to give you a similar effect.

There are no row numbers as such. Try to describe your problem a
little more thoroughly and we'll see if we can help.
