asp_databases thread: Unusual SELECT request


Message #1 by "Beric Holt" <buzzrick@h...> on Thu, 25 Oct 2001 23:38:28 +0000
Is it possible to create a select statement which returns an arbitary number 

of records?  For example I want to return a recordset listing the numbers 1 

to 10.



I've tried setting up select statements like:

SELECT intNum AS intNumber WHERE intNum in (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

but this doesn't work.  I've had to resort to creating a table with these 

values, which isn't elegant.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Cheers

Buzzrick

1.Create a table 



2.In the Data Type column, click the arrow and select AutoNumber.



3.To create a random AutoNumber, in the bottom part of the window on the 

General tab, set the NewValues property to Random.



After that you try this QUERY



"SELECT intNum FROM Table NAME;"
