Just replace
SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALLSELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL
SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1
with
SELECT N FROM (VALUES (1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1)) V(N)
Like this? (Assuming you have SQL2008 + )
WITH
E1(N) AS ( SELECT 1 FROM (VALUES(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1)) a(N) ),
E2(N) AS ( SELECT 1 FROM E1 a,E1 b ),
E4(N) AS ( SELECT 1 FROM E2 a,E2 b ),
cteTally(N) AS ( SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) FROM E4 )
SELECT N
FROM cteTally;
SELECT N
FROM (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL))
FROM (
SELECT 1
FROM (
SELECT 1
FROM
(VALUES(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1)) a(N),
(VALUES(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1)) b(N)
) c(N), (
SELECT 1
FROM
(VALUES(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1)) d(N),
(VALUES(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1)) e(N)
) f(N)
) g(N)
) DTTally(N);
The CTE version is still much shorter (nearly half the typing) and much easier to read, isn't it?
And be careful you don't drip water on your keyboard 😉
