Puzzle

Print from 1 to 100 sequentially with out using cursor, while or any other iterative loop. Ans: We can achieve this by using Common Table Expression (CTE). CTE, are a new construct introduced in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 that offer a more readable form of the derived table that can be declared once and referenced multiple times in a query. Moreover, CTEs can be recursively defined, allowing a recursive entity to be enumerated without the need for recursive stored procedures. We can achieve the above using recursive CTE: Please execute the below statements: WITH Series (Number) AS ( SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT Number +1 FROM Series WHERE Number 100 ) Select * from Series And see the result
