數字輔助表是一個連續整數的數列，通常用來實現多種不同的查詢任務。大多分兩類：足夠大物理數字表和表函數，前者可以稱為靜態的，後者可以稱為動態且按需生產。
物理數字表
物理數字表通常存在一個物理表，表記錄相對足夠大，相關的T-SQL代碼如下：
IF OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.Nums', 'U') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP TABLE dbo.Nums;
END
GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.Nums
(
Num INT NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_U_CL_Nums_Num PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
Num ASC
)
);
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.Nums (Num)
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) AS RowNum
FROM master.dbo.spt_values;
GO
注意：如何填充物理數字表的方法很多，為了演示作用使用了一種。
測試的T-SQL代碼如下：
1 SELECT Num 2 FROM dbo.Nums; 3 GO
執行後的查詢結果如下：
表函數
表函數實現使用交叉連接和CTE，SQL Server 2005和以上版本的T-SQL代碼如下：
IF OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.ufn_GetNums', N'IF') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP TABLE dbo.ufn_GetNums;
END
GO
--==================================
-- 功能: 獲取指定范圍的數字數列
-- 說明: 交叉最後層級的CTE得到的數據行：在L級（從0開始計數）得到的行的總數為2^2^L。
-- 例如：在5級就會得到4 294 967 596行。5級的CTE提供了超過40億的行。

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.ufn_GetNums
(
@bintLow BIGINT,
@bintHigh BIGINT
) RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
WITH
L0 AS (SELECT c FROM (VALUES(1), (1)) AS LO(c)),
L1 AS (SELECT 1 AS c FROM L0 AS T CROSS JOIN L0 AS T2),
L2 AS (SELECT 1 AS c FROM L1 AS T CROSS JOIN L1 AS T2),
L3 AS (SELECT 1 AS c FROM L2 AS T CROSS JOIN L2 AS T2),
L4 AS (SELECT 1 AS c FROM L3 AS T CROSS JOIN L3 AS T2),
L5 AS (SELECT 1 AS c FROM L4 AS T CROSS JOIN L4 AS T2),
Nums AS (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) AS RowNum FROM L5)
SELECT TOP (@bintHigh - @bintLow + 1) @bintLow + RowNum - 1 AS Num
FROM Nums
ORDER BY RowNum ASC;
GO
SQL Server 2012增加了有關分頁的新特性，相關的T-SQL代碼如下:
IF OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.ufn_GetNums2', N'IF') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP TABLE dbo.ufn_GetNums2;
END
GO

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.ufn_GetNums2

@bintHigh BIGINT

L0 AS (SELECT c FROM (VALUES(1), (1)) AS LO(c)),
L1 AS (SELECT 1 AS c FROM L0 AS T CROSS JOIN L0 AS T2),

L3 AS (SELECT 1 AS c FROM L2 AS T CROSS JOIN L2 AS T2),

L5 AS (SELECT 1 AS c FROM L4 AS T CROSS JOIN L4 AS T2),
Nums AS (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) AS RowNum FROM L5)
SELECT @bintLow + RowNum - 1 AS Num
FROM Nums
ORDER BY RowNum ASC
OFFSET 0 ROWS FETCH FIRST @bintHigh - @bintLow + 1 ROWS ONLY;
GO
以函數ufn_GetNums為例，演示相關的效果。獲取指定范圍的數字序列的T-SQL代碼如下：
SELECT Num FROM dbo.ufn_GetNums(11, 20); GO
執行後的查詢結果如下：
