There is a special 'identity(n)' operator that you can use with select into for this purpose. Note that while it looks like a function, it can't be used as one in a straight select, only in select into.
1> select row_number = identity(32), name into #mytemptable from syslogins 2> go (10 rows affected) 1> select * from #mytemptable 2> go row_number name ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ 1 a 2 aaa 3 jjj 4 jjjj 5 jjjjj 6 joe 7 joeuser 8 log 9 probe 10 sa
