I wondered if postges could some how auto-generate a unique view key?

I tried searching the on-line docs to no avail.

Any help appreciated.

What do you mean with a 'unique view key'?

I'm not sure, but maybe you are searching for SERIAL (a datatype)

Or row_number()

Hey, maybe you are right ;-)

But row_number() isn't always unique: only if it works over the whole
result set and not over multiple windows.

Is the view generating duplicate rows ? Can the query be expressed like
select A.a,A.b,A.c, B.a, B.b, B.c from A, B where A.c = B.c and A.c = x , B.b is between y and z
to get an idea of what is meant ?
