title: Include a blank row in query results
body: <p>Is there a way to include a blank row at the top of a sql query, eg if it is meant for a dropdown list?  (MS Sql Server 2005 or 2008)</p>
  
  <pre><code>Select * 
    FROM datStatus 
  ORDER BY statusName
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Where I want something like</p>
  
  <pre><code>  -1  (please choose one)
    1   Beginning
    2   Middle
    3   Ending
    4   Canceled
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>From a table that is ordinarily just the above, but without the top row?</p>
