It might help if you explain what you're trying to do...
I'm not getting why you're worried about the ID if it's arbitrary. In
that instance, you'd probably want to perform a query that's ordered
around something you actually care about. The only time I'd see needing
the ID (which you can include in that query) is if you were going to
perform another action on a specific row (INSERT, DELETE) where you'd
want the ID in the WHERE clause.
You wouldn't need to have the ID beforehand, because you're selecting
rows without consideration for their ID.
