    Hi folks

    Is this possible in SQL? - I have a table with a column called "Position" Currently this value is all zeroes.
    But I want to populate this field with a sequence of numbers starting at 1 and counting up...

    i.e. first record will have position = 1
    second record will have position = 2, etc.

    Thanks!

    OK thought of this as soon as I clicked Post, but I made it an index, changed it to AUTO_INCREMENT which automatically populated the field in the way I want, then removed it as an index and removed the AUTO_INCREMENT...
