This is a question of how to make a proper SQL query. I am not good in those but
try something like:

SELECT roads.*, 'road_id' as object_id
FROM your_roads_table roads;

It should select everything from the table "your_roads_table" and add an extra
column titled as "object_id" and feel in value "road_id" for each line.  Is that
what you would like to have?
