Question

I am using MySQL 5.0.

I have table with following structure and data.

CREATE TABLE `test` 
(
      `text1` varchar(100) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

INSERT INTO `test` (`text1`) 
VALUES ('ABC'), ('PQR'), ('XYZ'), ('LMN');

I want to display following output:

Index     Text
1         ABC
2         LMN
3         PQR
4         XYZ

In table structure, I don’t want to create any new column.

How can I write a SQL query or a stored procedure to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

SET @row=0;   
SELECT @row := @row + 1 AS Index, text1 as Text FROM test;
