Or CROSS APPLY VALUES:
-- sample data;WITH gennum (tollnum, n1, n2, n3) AS (
SELECT 800123, 1234, 1235, 1236 UNION ALL
SELECT 999123, 9876, 9875, 9874
)
-- solution
SELECT g.tollnum, d.code
FROM gennum g
CROSS APPLY (VALUES (n1), (n2), (n3)) d (code)
Didn't know this one 🙂
One more for the "bag" 🙂
Nice.
And after all the work I've done trying to get the word out too! [face-to-palm]
Thanks for the plug Chris!
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.

Since random numbers are too important to be left to chance, let's generate some![/url]
