Update SQL script for lower SQL version

Question

Hi, I am copying same records 9 times and this query is working fine in SQL-2008 or newer version but getting the following error in Lower SQL version. How I can run this script for lower SQL version.
drop table #temp
create table #temp (Code1 varchar(10))
insert into #temp values ('ABC')
;With Numbers As
(Select 1 As Number
Union All 
Select Number + 1
From Numbers
Where Number < 9)
Select t.* 
From #temp t
Cross Join Numbers;
Error: Line 2: Incorrect syntax near ';'.

Answer 1

Why are you using CTE in SQl server 2000. They were introduced from 2005. of course you need to confirm version of SQL Server
Plus use code like below
If object_ID('tempdb..#Temp') IS NOT NULL
drop table #temp
create table #temp (Code1 varchar(10))
insert into #temp values ('ABC')
;With Numbers As
(Select 1 As Number
Union All
Select Number + 1
From Numbers
Where Number < 9)
Select t.*
From #temp t
Cross Join Numbers;
