dividing return set into smaller sets

[krzys.zg]

Hi,

I have a problem with t-sql query.

Let's assume, that i have a query

selest * from table01

which return a dataset:

| Colum1 | Column2
-------------------------------------
R1| A | B
R2| C | D
R3| E | F
R4| G | H

but I need return few dataset (as many as rows), as shown:

| Colum1 | Column2
-------------------------------------
R1| A | B

| Colum1 | Column2
-------------------------------------
R2| C | D

| Colum1 | Column2
-------------------------------------
R3| E | F

etc....

and I can not use cursors.

Do you have any idea how to solve this? I appreciate any suggestion.

Thank you very much in advance,

Christopher

I would suggest that you give the full story about why you feel compelled
to ask for this. Then maybe we can find a better solution to your underlying
problem. To wit, this is such a funny request, that all answers will also be
funny, so there is all reason to look for a better solution.
