Dropping Global Temp Tables Programatically

Oct 4, 2006

Hi,

I want to drop a Global temp table within a stored procedure.
But first, I want to check it's existence.

So, what I would like to do is something like this

if exists
(select * from sysobjects where name like '##globaltemptable')
drop table ##globaltemptable

But I don't think the global temp tables get stored in sysobjects.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

A Curious Error Message, Local Temp Vs. Global Temp Tables?!?!?

Nov 17, 2004

Hi all,

Looking at BOL for temp tables help, I discover that a local temp table (I want to only have life within my stored proc) SHOULD be visible to all (child) stored procs called by the papa stored proc.

However, the following code works just peachy when I use a GLOBAL temp table (i.e., ##MyTempTbl) but fails when I use a local temp table (i.e., #MyTempTable). Through trial and error, and careful weeding efforts, I know that the error I get on the local version is coming from the xp_sendmail call. The error I get is: ODBC error 208 (42S02) Invalid object name '#MyTempTbl'.

Here is the code that works:SET NOCOUNT ON

CREATE TABLE ##MyTempTbl (SeqNo int identity, MyWords varchar(1000))
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('Put your long message here.')
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('Put your second long message here.')
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('put your really, really LONG message (yeah, every guy says his message is the longest...whatever!')
DECLARE @cmd varchar(256)
DECLARE @LargestEventSize int
DECLARE @Width int, @Msg varchar(128)
SELECT @LargestEventSize = Max(Len(MyWords))
FROM ##MyTempTbl

SET @cmd = 'SELECT Cast(MyWords AS varchar(' +
CONVERT(varchar(5), @LargestEventSize) +
')) FROM ##MyTempTbl order by SeqNo'
SET @Width = @LargestEventSize + 1
SET @Msg = 'Here is the junk you asked about' + CHAR(13) + '----------------------------'
EXECUTE Master.dbo.xp_sendmail
'YoMama@WhoKnows.com',
@query = @cmd,
@no_header= 'TRUE',
@width = @Width,
@dbuse = 'MyDB',
@subject='none of your darn business',
@message= @Msg
DROP TABLE ##MyTempTbl

The only thing I change to make it fail is the table name, change it from ##MyTempTbl to #MyTempTbl, and it dashes the email hopes of the stored procedure upon the jagged rocks of electronic despair.

Any insight anyone? Or is BOL just full of...well..."stuff"?

Global Temp Tables

Aug 11, 1998

Hi everyone:

I am creating an sp, in which I check for the existence of a global temp table (using the exists)
statement. If the Exists returns a false, I move on to processing without the temp table. If it
returns a true, I utilize the temp table to do some inserts. I create the temp table when my
application first starts up. The problem that I am facing is that the check for the temp table`s
existence seems to be failing. Is there any other way to check for the existence of a global
temp table??

Any info really appreciated
Thanks

Global Temp Tables

May 29, 2006

Hi group,

I want to create several global temp tables. I've created a script:

if not object_id('tempdb..##tbl_ProductTypes') is null
begin
drop table ##tbl_ProductTypes
end
select * into ##tbl_ProductTypes from dbo.tbl_ProductTypes

This script creates a global temp table. When I run it in QA the table is created. When I close QA the table is dropped. This is correct since I found the following in BoL:
[Global temporary tables are automatically dropped when the session that created
the table ends and all other tasks have stopped referencing them. The
association between a task and a table is maintained only for the life of a
single Transact-SQL statement. This means that a global temporary table is
dropped at the completion of the last Transact-SQL statement that was actively
referencing the table when the creating session ended.]

I created a job that executes the statement above. The job exists with success, however the table is not created!

Why wasn't the table created??

TIA

Regards,

SDerix

Transact SQL :: Global Temp Tables

I have two global temp tables in my stored procedure.Is it possible for me to make the execution of a stored procedure dynamic. Based on a flag parameter value I should get the result set from first temp table  and viceversa ex: If my flag is 0.I should be able to get the result set from ##temp1 (select * from ##temp1).If my flag is 1.I should be able to get the result set from ##temp2 (select * from ##temp2).

Nested Stored Proc. And Global Temp Tables

Mar 2, 1999

I have an sql file that contains several queries that are generating numbers to populate a sql table. The sql file is too large for a single sp so I am nesting them. I have 4 nested stored procedures. Each of the queries in each stored procedure dumps into its own global temp table. The final stored procedure needs to insert into a sql table all the information gathered in the global temp tables. So the final stored proc. looks something like:
"Create procedure usp_myProc_4 AS EXEC usp_myProc_3
INSERT INTO mySQLTable (a,b,c)
SELECT a, b, c FROM ##myTempTable (which was created in usp_myProc_1)

INSERT INTO mySQLTable (a,b,c)
SELECT a, b, c FROM ##myOtherTempTable

INSERT INTO......etc;"

I have done this befor and it worked fine. The only difference is that when I did this before these insert statements were being called from within an sp_makewebtask procedure.

Now when I try to save this final stored procedure it tells me "Invalid Object Name: ##myTempTable"

How do I call on these global temp tables from my final nested stored procedure?

Thanks for any help.

Global Temp Tables Getting Dropped Form Time To Time

Apr 10, 2007

Hi all,

I have created several global temp tables to cache some intermediate results ...
However, it seems that after a while those tables will be dropped by SQL Server 2005 automatically (I have not restarted the server and no drop table statement ever executed against those tables). Is this a feature by design? How to make those global temp tables persistence to next service restart?

Thanks,

Global Temp Table ....

Feb 24, 2005

Hi:

A regular permanent table is not an option:
Need to exec a procA which at the end also exec procB.

procA will insert to table A and also generate a intermidate result set to a ##A global table, it works fine at this point. However, when it exec the procB at the end of exec procA, the ##A global table is empty when entering procB.

The key is I want to pass a records set to the procB without using a tableTempB. Does a ## global table should be still alive until procB execution is done?

I also tried use table variable, but it does not look like to accept @tableA
as part of the procB's parameters.

Also tried function, but it could not support a #tempTable within it which will do a dynamic query insertion.

thanks
David

Global Temp Table Permissions

I have a pivot table implementation, part of which is posted below. Itreturns no errors in query analyzer, but when profiler is run, it showsthat "Error 208" is happening.

Remote-server Execution Of A Global Temp Stored Procedure

Oct 9, 2006

I have the following execution of a global temporary stored procedure on a remote SQL 2000 server:


insert into targetTable
exec remoteServer.master.dbo.sp_MSforeachdb ' ', @precommand = 'exec ##up_fetchQuery'

This is an ugly duck query but it seems to work fine. when I try to directly execute the remote stored procedure such as with


insert into query_log exec remoteServer.master.dbo.##up_fetchQuery

I get execution error


Server: Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 1
Could not find stored procedure '##up_xportQueryLog'.
Database name 'master' ignored, referencing object in tempdb.


When I try


insert into query_log exec remoteServer.tempdb.dbo.##up_fetchQuery

I get


Server: Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 1
Could not find stored procedure '##up_xportQueryLog'.
Database name 'tempdb' ignored, referencing object in tempdb.
with


insert into query_log exec remoteServer..dbo.##up_fetchQuery

or


insert into query_log exec remoteServer...##up_fetchQuery

I get


Server: Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 1
Could not find stored procedure '##up_xportQueryLog'.

I guess the remote server has trouble resolving the name of the global temp stored procedure when its reference comes in as a remote stored procedure calls. Is there any way to directly call a global temp stored procedure from a remote server or do I need to stick with this goofy-looking work-around?

Temp Table Vs Global Temp Table

Jun 24, 1999

I think this is a very simple question, however, I don't know the
answer. What is the difference between a regular Temp table
and a Global Temp table? I need to create a temp table within
an sp that all users will use. I want the table recreated each
time someone accesses the sp, though, because some of the
same info may need to be inserted and I don't want any PK errors.

thanks!!

Temp Tables Vs Temp Variables

Jul 20, 2005

I have an application that I am working on that uses some small temptables. I am considering moving them to Table Variables - Would thisbe a performance enhancement?Some background information: The system I am working on has numeroustables but for this exercise there are only three that really matter.Claim, Transaction and Parties.A Claim can have 0 or more transactions.A Claim can have 1 or more parties.A Transaction can have 1 or more parties.A party can have 1 or more claim.A party can have 1 or more transactions. Parties are really many tomany back to Claim and transaction tables.I have three stored procsinsertClaiminsertTransactioninsertPartiesFrom an xml point of view the data looks like this<claim><parties><info />insertClaim takes 3 sets of paramters - All the claim levelinformation (as individual parameters), All the parties on a claim (asone xml parameter), All the transactions on a claim(As one xmlparameter with Parties as part of the xml)insertClaim calls insertParties and passes in the parties xml -insertParties returns a recordset of the newly inserted records.insertClaim then uses that table to join the claim to the parties. Itthen calls insertTransaction and passes the transaction xml into thatsproc.insertTransaciton then inserts the transactions in the xml, and alsocalls insertParties, passing in the XML snippet

Dropping Tables

May 28, 2002

Is there a way we can prevent a object owner from dropping his tables. Example:

There is a user called 'tom' who is given create table permissions, 'tom' creates the table completes his dev and then the table is moved into production where 'tom' is still the owner. However, in production, 'tom' does not have the create table privs. Because 'tom' is the owner of the table, he is still able to drop the table in production. This is what I am trying to avoid. I would like to retain 'tom' as the owner and want to take away his create/drop privs.

Global Temp Table Vs. Permanent Table Use

Dec 17, 2004

I need to decide what is better to use: global temp table ( I can't use local one) or permanent table in SQL 2000 stored procedures. I extract data from linked server table and update several tables on our server.
Those procedures scheduled to run every 3 hours.

Another question: for some reasons when I used global temp table, I wasn't able to schedule multi steps with every step executing one of the stored procedures.I think global temp tables should be visible to other stored procedures, right?

Your suggestions?

Transact SQL :: Database Size Does Not Decrease After Dropping All The Tables

Oct 15, 2015

I have a database consisting of two main tables and 12 sub tables.

This was leading to increase in database size. So we thought of storing the sub tables data in the main tables in form of xml  in a column of varchar(2000) type.

So we created a new database that only had 2 tables and we stored the data of the sub tables in the new column of the main table.

Surprisingly we saw that the database size increased rather than decreasing .
