Make SQL Select same row multiple times

Question

I need to test my mail server. How can I make a Select statement that selects say ID=5469 a thousand times.

Answer 1

You can use the UNION ALL statement.

Try something like:

SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE ID = 5469
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE ID = 5469

You'd have to repeat the SELECT statement a bunch of times but you could write a bit of VB code in Access to create a dynamic SQL statement and then execute it. Not pretty but it should work.
