There is a feedback entry for SQL 2008 at
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3569354&SiteID=1&mode=1
by MVP Erland Sommarskog that appears to be lobbying for a "Table of Numbers" aka "Tally Table" to come as a built in feature of SQL Server. If you are interested in this kind of feature pay a visit to the listed feedback and give it a review.

Apparently, my Windows Live account signup hasn't made it this far, yet. Needless to say, I have some pretty strong feelings in the area of Tally tables... 😉

... I'll keep trying.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
