A cross join is used when you wish to create combination of every row from two tables. All row combinations are included in the result; this is commonly called cross product join. A common use for a cross join is to create obtain all combinations of items, such as colors and sizes. Note: The series starts with the article Introduction to Database Joins. All the examples for this lesson are based on Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and the AdventureWorks2012 database.
Cross tab queries in SQL Server are something that just have to be done. Keith Fletcher's T-SQL stored procedure will allow you to do it on the fly. You can add it to your database and start cross tabbing immediately, without any further setup or changes to your SQL code.Sometimes, you just absolutely have to generate a cross tab in SQL. It won't do to have the reporting system do it, nor is it feasible to build that functionality into the application.For example: 1  You may be using a reporting solution that doesn't provide this functionality.REATE TABLE #CrossTab (Dummy TINYINT NULL). You will then pass in the name of the temp table (#CrossTab in this case) to the stored procedure. Once the cross tab generation has completed, your temp table will contain the cross tab information in addition to your Dummy field.
