Nice question.

same as this http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/FindPost1351393.aspx with little details change. Got a impression at first that this question was repeated before and then I had to compare between these two 😛 )
Well, not really "same", it's a very diffefrent question.
But certainly anyone who had seen the first one would be aware that the last insert doesn't cause an error, and deducing that three 2-row inserts and one 1-row insert will between them insert 7 rows is not very difficult. So it might have been better if these two questions had appeared in the opposite order.
