You can actually do this without CURSORs or temp tables.

You definitely don't need a cursor. Using the following setup:

DECLARE @StoreHours TABLE

(

store_id int,

MonOpen varchar(10),

MonClose varchar(10),

TueOpen varchar(10),

TueClose varchar(10),

WedOpen varchar(10),

WedClose varchar(10),

ThuOpen varchar(10),

ThuClose varchar(10),

FriOpen varchar(10),

FriClose varchar(10),

SatOpen varchar(10),

SatClose varchar(10),

SunOpen varchar(10),

SunClose varchar(10)

)

insert @StoreHours

select 1,...

By default, SQL Server joins tables in left-to-right order, but you can override that behavior by using parentheses in your JOIN clause.
