Question

I am trying to get a sequential number table from 1 to 20 million. (or 0 to 20 million)

I am rather awestruck at how difficult it\'s been to get a MySQL-compatible s

Answer 1

I am not sure if you are trying to make one call make 20 million rows or call a row making call 20 million times. An example of the second case would be:

If you are looking for a SQL solution couldn't you try an adaption of

DROP TABLE NumbersTest
DECLARE @RunDate datetime
SET @RunDate=GETDATE()
SELECT TOP 20000000 IDENTITY(int,1,1) AS Number
    INTO NumbersTest
    FROM sys.objects s1
    CROSS JOIN sys.objects s2
ALTER TABLE NumbersTest ADD CONSTRAINT PK_NumbersTest PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (Number)
PRINT CONVERT(varchar(20),datediff(ms,@RunDate,GETDATE()))+' milliseconds'
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM NumbersTest

Taken from this post and is reported to make 10,000 rows in an average of 56.3 milliseconds.
