[SQL] Number the lines

[Yoann]

how can I number the result's lines of a sql query ?

explaination : I have a query which return me a list of values. I need
to order them (it's ok, easy ;) and then number the lines. The goal is
then to extract, for example, "the third maximum value".

Tx in advance !
