CREATE TABLE #yourTempTable([MonthName] VARCHAR(9), [Year] INT);WITH CTE(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM (SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1)a(N)),
CTE2(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM CTE x CROSS JOIN CTE y),
CTE3(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM CTE2 x CROSS JOIN CTE2 y),
TALLY(N) AS (SELECT 0 UNION ALL
SELECT TOP 11 ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY (SELECT NULL))
FROM CTE3),
DATETALLY(N) AS (SELECT DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, GETDATE())+N, 0)
FROM TALLY)
INSERT INTO #yourTempTable
SELECT DATENAME(month,N), YEAR(N)
FROM DATETALLY;
SELECT *
FROM #yourTempTable;
Jeff Moden would probably be disappointed with me if I didn't post this somewhat terser version:
SELECT Month=DATENAME(month, MyDate), Year=DATEPART(year, MyDate)
FROM [master].dbo.spt_values Tally
CROSS APPLY (
SELECT DATEADD(month, number-1, GETDATE())) a (MyDate)
WHERE [Type] = 'P' AND Number BETWEEN 1 AND 12
My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?
My advice:
INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
Need to UNPIVOT? Why not CROSS APPLY VALUES instead?[/url]
