Michael,
That's an excellent solution, but on my table, the explain plan sucks and the query time is over 3 minutes when implemented. Is there a simple way to get a row_num without using a temporary sequence?
Thanks for your help.

Make your query a set returning function which iterates over the query results and returns a number as well ?
