If you're using Oracle, it's fairly easy:
SELECT ROWNUM, question_id, question
FROM questions
WHERE SHOW_THE_QUESTION = 1
ORDER BY question_num
If you're using some other database, you can just tick off a counter as you pull them out. You then print and/or refer to the questions by those numbers when you're talking to the user taking the survey. If you're adding/removing questions at a whim, they only really have a 'number' in this sense once the survey/quiz/questionaire/whatever is instantiated, and may change for any other instance. (to build on what Zaxo said) Update: oops...ROWNUM, not ROW_NUM

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
