And I am new in programming. [/quote]And you are doing it wrong. Rows are not records. Tables are not files. The goal of a database is to [b]remove [/b]redundancy; you want to [b]increase [/b]it. All wrong. What you are doing is using SQL to print a deck of punch cards. You are not writing RDBMS! Yes, we can help you be a bad SQL programmer, if you [i]really want to be[/i] a bad programmer. But why? You saw a recursive CTE, and it looks like a loop so you want to use it. But SQL is a declarative language and we hate loops. What are you actually trying to do?Sun, 18 Nov 2012 20:14:40 GMTCELKOhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1386126-392-1.aspxYou can use a more efficient numbers table that returns numbers up to 1000:[code="sql"];WITH Nbrs ( Number ) AS ( SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) FROM (VALUES (0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0)) t1 (n1) CROSS JOIN (VALUES (0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0)) t2 (n2) CROSS JOIN (VALUES (0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0)) t3 (n3))[/code]Sun, 18 Nov 2012 19:28:07 GMTdwain.chttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1386126-392-1.aspxHello Expert !I have a CTE Query but I have nothing concepts about it. And I am new in programming. Actually i have Qty column in my query and i want repeat rows until qty. means if qty is equal to 50 then data set returns me 50 time records. if qty is equal to 1000 thousand then query returns me 10000 thousand records. Following query works fine for me till <99 rcords how can i grow for 1000 rocords.Thanx in advance.[code="sql"]SELECT * INTO #TableAFROM ( SELECT MIS_Request_Detail.vno, MIS_Request_Detail.IID, MIS_Request_Detail.Qty-MIS_Request_Detail.BalQty qty, 1 RcvdQty, pk, ItmMstr.IName, ItmMstr.UName, '' SrNo, MIS_Request_Detail.Qty As ReqQty, MIS_Request_Detail.BalQty, MIS_Request_Detail.Qty-MIS_Request_Detail.BalQty RemainQty FROM MIS_Request_Detail INNER JOIN view_MIS_Item_Master ItmMstr ON ItmMstr.IID=MIS_Request_Detail.IID WHERE ReqType=1 AND MIS_Request_Detail.vno='00008/1012' ) T ;WITH Nbrs ( Number ) AS ( SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 + Number FROM Nbrs WHERE Number < 99 )SELECT A.vno,A.IID, A.IName, A.UName, CAST(SrNo AS VARCHAR(50)) SrNo, CAST(N.Number AS varchar(50)) QTY, pk ReqDetpk, RcvdQty, A.ReqQty, A.BalQty, A.RemainQty, 0 Color, 0 chked, 0 Pk, 0 AS isupdate, '' AS isdeletedFROM #TableA A JOIN Nbrs N ON N.Number <= A.qtyORDER BY IID, N.Number, pk [/code]Sun, 18 Nov 2012 19:00:22 GMTabdul_rouf26
