Something like this?

Answer 1

Try this

with CTE as 
    (SELECT       
      a.Title 
     ,a.Id
  FROM
       TableA
     )
    ,CTE2 as 
    (SELECT  
      b.Title
     ,b.Id   
  FROM
       TableB
    )
    INSERT INTO @myData  --- insert statement goes here after CTE

    Select * From CTE    
    union all    
    Select * From CTE2

    Select  ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY GetDate() DESC) AS RowId, x.* 
    From @myData x
    order by x.Id desc

Answer 2

On my SQL2019 edition, the above construct yield no fields inserted. Even worse, if I wanted to use UPDATE after the statement, gave a syntax error.

Instead, this construct was working also in a stored procedure:

; WITH CTE AS (
  select ...
  UNION ALL
  select ...
)
insert into @tableVariable(fields..) (select field... from CTE)

Hope somebody will make use of this.
