    Try this one:

    with t as (select 1 x

    union all

    select x + 1

    from t

    where x < 100)

    select x

    from t

    Thomas, read the article at the link I provided in my last post and see why that's even worse than the original suggestion on this thread. Certainly, it's one of the worse ways of counting.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
