    Create a table that's something like this:

  • RE: A bit of an abstract problem

    Assuming you're on SQL 2005 (from the forum you posted in), something like this should work:

    create table #T (

    ID int identity primary key,

    Year char(4));

    insert into #T (Year)

    select '1800' union all

    select...

  • RE: Problems sending string parameter to a SP

    You have to parse the string into a table of values, or use dynamic SQL. I recommend parsing, because that doesn't open up injection security issues.

  • RE: A bit of an abstract problem

    You need the number of entries per year? Right?

    How about something as simple as:

    select Year, count(*) as Qty

    from dbo.MyTable

    group by Year

    order by Year;

    Even if it's varchar, that should work.
