If you want to select data from all the columns of the table, you can use an asterisk ( * ) shorthand instead of specifying all the column names. The select list may also contain expressions or literal values. Second, specify the name of the table from which you want to query data after the FROM keyword.
If you'd like to number each row in a result set, SQL provides the ROW_NUMBER() function. This function is used in a SELECT clause with other columns. After the ROW_NUMBER() clause, we call the OVER() function. If you pass in any arguments to OVER , the numbering of rows will not be sorted according to any column.
PostgreSQL does not have the ROWID pseudocolumn found in Oracle. However, the ctid field can definitely be treated as an equivalent of ROWID in the PostgreSQL database. The ctid field is a field that exists in every PostgreSQL table. It is unique for each record in a table and denotes the location of the tuple.
The PostgreSQL LIMIT clause is used to get a subset of rows generated by a query. It is an optional clause of the SELECT statement. The LIMIT clause can be used with the OFFSET clause to skip a specific number of rows before returning the query for the LIMIT clause.
SELECT tab.*,
row_number() OVER () as rnum
FROM tab;

P.S. This, in fact, fully matches the answer in the referenced question.
