    --I got a requirement to assign first 10 Ids to 10 variables.

    --I got required output using ( 1 ) Cursor ( 2 ) Table variable

    --but it will kill the performance.

    --How can i do that keeping performance in view?

    Thank in Advance 🙂

  • --I got a requirement to assign first 10 Ids to 10 variables.

    What does it mean? What will you do with these variables? Will you use the variables in a stored procedure?

    --I got required output using ( 1 ) Cursor ( 2 ) Table variable

    What do you mean "output" with cursor/table variable? Will you return multiple result sets?

    I think you might be interested in reading this article:

    and coming back with more detailed info.

    As soon as I can understand what you need I'll be glad to help you.

    --will u suggest another way of doing the same?

    Thanks in advance 🙂

  • Have you tried this?

    SELECT *

    FROM

    (

    SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY GETDATE())as NUM, Id FROM @tbl

    ) p

    PIVOT (MIN(ID) FOR NUM IN ([1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8],[9],[10])) PVT

    You can just use the same sample data and tables that you supplied

  • And another solution:

    ; WITH cte AS

    (

    SELECT

    id,

    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY id) RowNum

    FROM @tbl

    )

    SELECT

    @Q1 = CASE WHEN RowNum = 1 THEN id ELSE @Q1 END,

    @Q2 = CASE WHEN RowNum = 2 THEN id ELSE @Q2 END,

    @Q3 = CASE WHEN RowNum = 3 THEN id ELSE @Q3 END,

    @Q4 = CASE WHEN RowNum = 4 THEN id ELSE @Q4 END,

    @Q5 = CASE WHEN RowNum = 5 THEN id ELSE @Q5 END,

    @Q6 = CASE WHEN RowNum = 6 THEN id ELSE @Q6 END,

    @Q7 = CASE WHEN RowNum = 7 THEN id ELSE @Q7 END,

    @Q8 = CASE WHEN RowNum = 8 THEN id ELSE @Q8 END,

    @Q9 = CASE WHEN RowNum = 9 THEN id ELSE @Q9 END,

    @Q10 = CASE WHEN RowNum = 10 THEN id ELSE @Q10 END

    FROM cte

    SELECT

    @Q1, @Q2, @Q3, @Q4, @Q5, @Q6, @Q7, @Q8, @Q9, @Q10

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.
    "Change is inevitable... change for the better is not".

  • Heh... no, I had the right post.

    No one has correctly defined what the "first ten" will be. Without something to do an ORDER BY in the data, all of the methods could run as expected and then suddenly change their mind. You cannot rely on the "natural order" of SELECTs even with TOP. There must be an ORDER BY to be guaranteed.

    Now, if you want what will usually be the first 10 in the natural order of a select with the understanding that it could change any second, then they work. But, the fact that they could change any second should be a little unnerving to folks if the first 10 are truly important.
