Nov 14, 2012 at 14:40 comment added Kevin Feasel I'm not very familiar with MySQL, but you can try the bottom of this post: postgresonline.com/journal/archives/…. It shows how to do something similar to this for Postgres, SQL Server, and MySQL. It looks like it's actually really easy to do in MySQL.

Nov 14, 2012 at 13:38 comment added Matt M +1 for mentioning that the preferable way to perform this is outside of T-SQL. For kicks, I compared the execution plans of our two solutions, by running them in the same batch and forcing a plan recompile. I show that your query costs 73% relative to the batch, and mine costs 27%. For this small sample, this means next to nothing. However, I would be interested to see how both of our queries scale to a large data set. Good stuff!
