Often times I find it necessary to work with table rows in a specific,

manipulating a position column from the client application. In any case, I've
often found that to be cumbersome, but I think I've come up with a solution
that some of you may find useful.
Up until 9.4, that's a good way to do it.
Starting from 9.4, you can use the WITH ORDINALITY feature.

PostgreSQL will dramatically increase? :-)
Cheers,
Gavin
