How do I use multiple sql in builder. I want to convert a text field into a numeric field by identifying the unique values and assigning each value an interger. The sql commands (from FoxPro) are:

1) select distinct field1 as ufield from table1 into cursor temp1

2) select ufield, rowno() as id from temp1 into cursor temp2

3) select field1, id from table1, temp1 where field1 = ufield

I want to use a TQuery to do steps 1 and 2, but how do I implement rowno(). I don't know how to do step 3, since I am using data sources as the source for the data in TQuery.
