2. Insert your values into the temp table
3. Select * From the temp table and return that resultset.

the RDBMS. You can use a stinking dirty kludge with a proprietary
IDENTITY if you do not care about proper coding.
Have you ever had a software engineering course or read a book on
Software Engineering?|||"Aaron Bertrand [SQL Server MVP]" <ten.xoc@.dnartreb.noraa> wrote in message

Applies to 2005...?..well do the people that write this stuff read BOL?
Perhaps they want to keep some things a secret:)

Would you feel better substituting ranking for line numbering?
And I was having a hard time using 'stinking dirty kludge' in
a sentence.
Did you write for 'Laugh In'? :)|||>> Would you feel better substituting ranking for line numbering? <<
That is fine; ranking as a rule while putting a number on the output of
an un-ordred cursor is absurd and unrepeatable.
But do you have a bigger problem using it in a program :)? You
should.
Two gags only. And I do not remember what they were. They paid $50
for the two.|||I've posted something in the private groups so hopefully they will update to
reflect all the new bits that they brought in for SQL Server 2005.
