reuse table data in round robin manner - tsql

Question

Let us say I have some data I would like to repeat N times. A naive approach would be this:
IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.Data', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE dbo.Data
CREATE TABLE Data
(
DataId INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
DataValue NVARCHAR(MAX) NOT NULL
)
INSERT INTO Data (DataId, DataValue)
SELECT 1, 'Value1' UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 'Value2' UNION ALL
SELECT 3, 'Value3' UNION ALL
SELECT 4, 'Value4' UNION ALL
SELECT 5, 'Value5'
DECLARE #RowsRequired INT
DECLARE #Counter INT
DECLARE #NumberOfRows INT
SET #RowsRequired = 22
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#TempData') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #TempData
CREATE TABLE #TempData
(
Id INT IDENTITY(1,1),
DataValue NVARCHAR(MAX)
)
SELECT #NumberOfRows = COUNT(*) FROM Data
SET #Counter = 1
WHILE #RowsRequired > 0
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #TempData
SELECT DataValue FROM Data WHERE DataId = #Counter
SET #Counter = #Counter + 1
SET #RowsRequired = #RowsRequired - 1
IF(#Counter > #NumberOfRows)
BEGIN
SET #Counter = 1
END
END
SELECT * FROM #TempData
Here #RowsRequired determines how many rows are required. Could this be rephrased in a set based form? Thanks.
Here is a SQLFiddle with the code.

Answer 1

Try this instead:
DECLARE #RowsRequired INT = 22
;WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT DataId, DataValue, ROW_NUMBER() over (PARTITION BY DataId ORDER BY DataId) sort
FROM DATA
CROSS JOIN
(
SELECT TOP (#RowsRequired) 0 d
FROM master..spt_values
) d
)
SELECT TOP (#RowsRequired) ROW_NUMBER() over (order by sort), DataValue
FROM CTE
ORDER BY sort, 1

Answer 2

I tried this and worked for me.
declare #requiredrows int
set #requiredrows = 22;
declare #foreachrow int
select #foreachrow = #requiredrows / Count(*) from Data;
select top (#requiredrows) * from
(
select *, ROW_NUMBER() over(partition by dataId order by number) rno
from Data
Cross Join master..spt_values
) A
where rno <= #foreachrow + 1
Hope it will help.
