numbering rows on import from file

by deliverable@[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Alexy Khrabrov) May 2, 2008 at 02:26 PM

Greetings -- I have a huge table of the form  
(integer,integer,smallint,date).  Its origin is an ASCII file which I  
load with \copy.  Now I want to number the rows, adding an id column  
as an autoincrement from a sequence.  How should I do the import now  
for the sequence to work -- should I add the id column last, so it  
will not be filled by copy and presumably autoincrement?

Or, once the table is already in, can I add a column and force it to  
be filled with consecutive numbers, effectively numbering the rows?

Cheers,
Alexy
