Great question that shows a feature of the GO command that I only recently learned. Excellent!

Easy but tricky

What's really bad is understanding the question correctly and screwing up the loop counts because it is early in the morning. I counted the 5 loops but forgot to include the first run and ended up with 16. Once I saw it was wrong I recounted and hit my forehead with my palm.

- 1 (palm to forehead) 😀

Thank you for the great question, too bad I couldn't end Friday with that point. I guess I should have learned my lesson by trying to answer QotD this early before caffeine.

Everything is awesome!

Ugh, I've got to stop answering these questions first thing in the morning.

Great question though!

Good question. Made me stop and think before my first cup of coffee.

I wish I had thought of that when I was writing the question!

FYI the format of the question was actual from some code I've been using recently to load some data for volume testing. GO 18 get's you about half a million rows, GO 20 gets 2 mil +. :w00t:

Everyone has been real positive on this question so far. Keep your fingers crossed for me on part 2.

Good question. I always forget that you can do that.

Excellent question, Kenneth.

Almost caught by the 5, thinking it selected 1 row on every iteration.

Keep these kind of questions comin'!!

Thanks for the question. Went for six, as I focused on the iterations, without thinking about the select returning the just inserted rows. But, as others have said, this was a good, fun question.

Nice question. I have used the GO x syntax a few times so for me it was just counting the numbers up correctly. Looking forward to part 2.

Great question. But it was a good thing I'd had my coffee/tea before I tried answering....
