I will try to by more unequivocal this time :)

I know it, but i have to have not oid's but row numbers :) such like :
table "test"
offset | value
-----------+------------
1 | AC43
2 | AC4X
3 | AX43
4 | ACX3
....
n | XC4A

the best will be without using sequence :)

Ok, so its goes something like that:

lets say i have select query: select a,b,uid from foo where c='bar' order by a;

with results like that:
a | b | uid
----+----+------
2 |x | AC01
2 |w | AC43
4 |d | AC88
4 |a | AC13
...
7 |c | AC22

and lets say I selected this before and I know that there is uid='AC88';

and in another connection (in lets say next requested www php script )
without selecting all
this data or even full list of only uid`s and making sequence scan row by
row I wont to get
something like that from select I have write above:

a | b | uid
----+----+------
2 |w | AC43
4 |d | AC88
4 |a | AC13
(3 rows)

if there is row before and row next of uid='AC88' or

a | b | uid
----+----+------
2 |w | AC43
4 |d | AC88
(2 rows)
if uid='AC88' is last one row

or

a | b | uid
----+----+------
4 |d | AC88
4 |a | AC13
(2 rows)
if uid='AC88' is first row

I hope its more understandable than before :)
