dear SQL friends,
What I want to do might be done differantly. Right now I can't
think of another solution other than a select statement
I would like to create a sequence range of integer constants. Join
this sequence against a ID Range in a database and look for missing
Id's.
Another application for this would be to simply populate a database with
say 1000..9999 Records....
Now: Is there a syntax that allows for the following.....
create table XX (id int);
insert into XX (select xx from "1 to 1000" of integers)
or...
select IntSeq.MissingValues, x.UniqIntId,x.A,x.B,x.C,
from MyDataTable x
left outer join
(
select MissingValues from "1 to 1000" of integers
) IntSeq on MissingValues=x.UniqIntId
I'm hoping that someone has done this and might be able to
point to some function or methode to do this
Thanks,
Stefan Becker
