I am using the DBI to return back the results of a flat-file database (via the AnyData DBD).

One thing I would like to be able to do is allow for record #s AS PART OF THE ARRAY after the query is run. The point is to make it optional.

Is there a way to create a row (position 0), insert the record number (row number), and move everything over (the query results), keeping in mind that the column heading array will also need to be changed as well with a 'Record #' field.

If this sounds confusing, let me know and I will try to be more specific.

TIA
