I didn't think of them but now that you pointed them out, you are right on both observations.

1. A single table starting at zero and a pass-through view with a >0 critiera.

2. Number1 and Number0 would be easier for casual user.

>if the use of BETWEEN is a pain

I'm curious how you would use BETWEEN when you need a zero-based number table.

What I meant by the BETWEEN was, if you have a zero-based table and need a unit-based solution, then the WHERE clause would need to include WHERE N BETWEEN 1 AND @DesiredInt. That would also allow you to use just a single table.

Just google "tally table". The procedural (manual) form is used by schools a lot.

After 6 years, it would appear that Google has finally caught up with what is meant by a "Tally Table". 😛 At least insofar as how we use it.
