Would you call this a hack...?

Look at this piece of code...

Select *
into #Constant
from SCM3DConstant
WHERE 0=1

Would you call this piece of code a hack...? Think about the intent of this piece of code and leave comments...

No it's not a hack. it's a perfectly valid fast table creation.

I use things like that to get info about tables without having to query sysobjects.

I would call it a hack. It's probably reasonable hack compared to the alternative, but you definately need to leave a comment explaining what it is doing.

Hmmm, I use these many a times in the normal code. So at least for me this is no hack
