Ummm... what is this for? I mean, what is the business reason behind adding columns to a new table? The reason why I'm asking is because if we knew the real reason behind why you are trying to do this, we just might be able to come up with a better solution than the one you're trying to solve.

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.
