I never had incorrect results from either way, unless I had incorrect code.
Probably someone miswrote a case statement, couldn't figure out why it wasn't working, and blamed it on the...

When all of your comparisons are a single column/variable/value, and all you're comparing is a single "is equal to" value per When, then you can use the first syntax. ...

You might want to also include "and Column1 is null" to the Where clause, so it only updates rows where Column1 is null and Column2 is not null.

In that case, yeah, Matt's random solution will work. Or just "Hollywood" all the phone numbers by replacing them with "555-1234". Or "867-5309" (showing my age). Why...

In that case, you might be better off using a Row_Number() function instead of an Identity.
Row_Number() over (whatever would be appropriate here) + Seed Value
Should give you the range you...

Of course, the other way to do this, which might be more efficient, is to create a table of Periods, including begin and end dates, and then do your queries...
