Hi Merlin,
I've tried your suggested code and with cross join and generate_series I
can generate multiple row. There is a way to put as second args a column
values? I've tried to put "table.number" column values but I got
"generate_series() does not exists". Inserting a simple int like 5 I get
5 results for each row.

I've searched on google but can't find a valid example.

Thanks in advance.
