retrieving rows by insertion order



Hello,

I vaguely remember reading in the manual that the order of the retrieved
rows in a response to a select statement is unpredictable (unless you
use an order by clause). this possibly depends on the indices set up for
the table and/or used in constructing the result etc. is this accurate?
if so is there any way to insure that rows retrieved are returning in
the order by were inserted in, say other than ordering by some
'insertion counter' (such a counter is of no use otherwise in my
application!).

thanks for the help.
