I don't understand what you mean by missing ROWNUM feature, PG got this 
with windows-functions in 8.4:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/functions-window.html

Example:
select username, row_number() over() from my_user_table;
   username   | row_number
-------------+------------
  admin       |          1
  everyone    |          2
