Programming fun in database (SQL SERVER 2008)

When I was thinking about the programming logic ,I suddenly remember my old graduation days where i generally used to run the program in C/CPP the programs like printing of * in piramid or in reverse of it. as now I am SQL Developer I tried to implement the same in SQL SERVER 2008.

I tried the above code, if you find other approch or find some any good solution please replly here.

Please run the following or attached code in text mode of SQL SERVER MANAGEMENT STUDIO 2008.

--/*  code is generated on the basis of geralization method

      --    you can check by taking as much as column you want and check like

      --    say suppose i am taking 9 columns where i am inserting * it is printing Pyramid like

      --    but while running following code select Result to text

      --    * * * * * * * * *

      --      * * * * * * *

      --        * * * * *

      --          * * *  

      --           * *

      --            *
