What kind of template language is being used? Many of them have a built-in way 
to number rows, or implement alternate coloring (the motivation for your second 
example, I suspect).

There is no built-in mechanism in SQLite for this kind of row numbering. 
Implementing it in SQL query is very inefficient, and is outright impossible if 
the resultset needs to contain duplicate rows.
