Aggregate bitwise-OR in a subquery

Question

Given the following table:

CREATE TABLE BitValues ( n int )

Is it possible to compute the bitwise-OR of n for all rows with

Answer 1

Are you looking for something like this?

EDIT: As noted in other comments, this answer was based on the assumption that the BitValues table would only contain powers of 2. I tried to read between the lines of the question and infer a use for the inline subquery.

declare @BitValues table (
    n int
)

declare @TestTable table (
    id int identity,
    name char(10),
    BitMappedColumn int
)

insert into @BitValues (n)
    select 1 union all select 2 union all select 4

insert into @TestTable
    (name, BitMappedColumn)
    select 'Joe', 5 union all select 'Bob', 8

select t.id, t.name, t.BitMappedColumn
    from @TestTable t
        inner join (select SUM(n) as BitMask from @BitValues) b
            on t.BitMappedColumn & b.BitMask <> 0
