SQL to generate a list of numbers from 1 to 100

Question

Using the DUAL table, how can I get a list of numbers from 1 to 100?

Answer 1

Do it the hard way. Use the awesome MODEL clause:

SELECT V
FROM DUAL
MODEL DIMENSION BY (0 R)
      MEASURES (0 V)
      RULES ITERATE (100) (
        V[ITERATION_NUMBER] = ITERATION_NUMBER + 1
      )
ORDER BY 1
