When I create a view, is there any way to enumerate the output rows?

Another method would I've developed/discovered is to create a temporary table, fill it with the data from the view, then use the automatically created rowid column as the enumeration. This works, but is not ideal since the creation of a temporary table can't be included in a view itself.

If that works, then try using a subquery in the view definition instead.

  create view Enumerated
  as
  select rowid as Sequence, Name from (
    select Name from Planets order by Name
  )

Sort of like that.
