Counter Table (table of numbers) Setter-Upper for SQL Server 2005
By Jesse Roberge - YeshuaAgapao@gmail.com
CounterSmall - completely fills a single data page (two logical reads per seek or scan). 622 Numbers.
Counter - completely fills a two-level clustered index (two logical reads per seek). 386,884 Numbers.
CounterBig - completely fills a three-level clustered index (three logical reads per seek). 240,641,848 Numbers.
CounterSmall and Counter populate in 2-4 seconds, including statistics and index rebuilds.
CounterBig is commented as it usually isn't needed. It takes a bit to populate this and pigs a lot of space. Un-comment it only if you need it.
