Repeating a SQL INSERT query a particular number of times with an incremental value

Question

I've got a SQL query for inserting data into a table consisting of values for StorageRowNo and StorageID . The goal is to repeat this query a specified number of times with StorageRowNo increasing by 1 every time the query is repeated. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

INSERT [dbo].[StorageRow]
    SELECT StorageRowNo, StorageID
    FROM (VALUES (1, 2)) V (StorageRowNo, StorageID)
    WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 
                      FROM [dbo].[StorageRow] C
                      WHERE C.StorageRowNo = V.StorageRowNo 
                        AND C.StorageID = V.StorageID);

Expected output would be something like this if the specified number were 3.

StorageRowNo	StorageID
1	2
2	2
3	2

Answer 1

use straight sql if you can

DECLARE @numRepeats INT = 10; -- number of times to repeat the query


INSERT [dbo].[StorageRow]
 SELECT V.StorageRowNo, V.StorageID
    FROM (select row_number() over(order by (select null)) as StorageRowNo
                 ,2 as StorageID
           from master..spt_values
         ) V
    WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 
                        FROM [dbo].[StorageRow] C
                       WHERE C.StorageRowNo = V.StorageRowNo 
                         AND C.StorageID = V.StorageID);
       AND V.StorageRowNo<=@numRepeats
