I didn’t knew it as possible to do this in SQL Server:
select * from (values (1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)) AS Numbers (Odds, Evens)
Parking it here for my later reference. Can be handy to insert couple of rows into some meta tables like:
declare @external_internal_state_map table (external_state_code varchar(6), internal_state_code varchar(6))
insert into @external_internal_state_map (external_state_code, internal_state_code) values
(‘EXT1’, ‘INT1’), (‘EXT2’, ‘INT2’), (‘EXT3’, ‘INT3’)
select * from @external_internal_state_map
