• One big advantage of a const table (I have always called mine control) is that you can very easily get the values out of this table (assuming there are not very many columns and ONLY 1 row). just add a cross join to your table and you are all set.

    declare @Code int = 10

    select * from myTable

    where myTable.Code = @Code

    becomes

    select * from MyTable

    cross join control c

    where MyTable.Code = c.Code
