What defines your ordering?

Please post SQL 2000 related questions in the SQL 2000 forums. Posting in the 2005 forums means you'll probably get answers that use SQL 2005-specific features.

You want to use the Row_Number() function.

Select

cityName,

Row_number() Over(order by city)

From

CityMaster

Sorry I did not notice that you said SQL Server 2000 since the post is in a 2005 forum until after I posted and Gail had commented.
