Hi PFC,

the generate_series() seems to be the right thing I need in my scenario
but I didn't figure out how to create a SELECT stattement that will
contain sorted main_table.id in first column and generated series in
second column which I would use to update the main_table.position. Is it
possible? How can I do that? Or is there another approach to employ
generate_series()?
