I like the point the question tried to make, namely using the GO statement as an instrument to loop, but I do not like the trickery with the # name. At first, I did not even notice the GO 100 statement, as I was focusing on the table name. So I'm confused what this question actually tried to do: teach us about GO n (mission accomplished), or about the various options for table names or was it just to trick people into choosing the wrong answer?
Yeah, I fell down on this one as well... however, when I did actually try to run the code it didn't seem to like the "100"... I got...
(1 row(s) affected)
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Line 3: Incorrect syntax near '100'.
The code is identical... I'm running this on a SQL Server 2000 box, but I don't think that matters...
