How Do You Create ##Temp Tables If They Don't Exist, Use Them If They Do?

Aug 30, 2006

I have two SPs, call them Daily and Weekly. Weekly will always callDaily, but Daily can run on its own. I currently use a global temptable because certain things I do with it won't work with a local temptable or table variable.I have been trying to get code so that if the table already exists, itjust keeps going and uses it, but creates the temp table if it doesn'texist. Unfortunately, no matter how I try to do it, it always attemptsto create it, raising an error and breaking the code.create table ##load_file_log (id int identity(1,1),contentsvarchar(1000))insert into ##load_file_log (contents) values ('test record')IF object_id('tempdb..##load_file_log') IS not NULLprint 'exists'ELSEcreate table ##load_file_log (id int identity(1,1),contentsvarchar(1000))select * from ##load_file_logdrop table ##load_file_logIf I change it to IS NULL, the same error occurs (Server: Msg 2714,Level 16, State 1, Line 7There is already an object named '##load_file_log' in the database.)I have found one way to do it, but it seems a bit...clunky.IF object_id('tempdb..##load_file_log') IS NULLexec ('create table ##load_file_log (id int identity(1,1),contentsvarchar(1000))')I'll use that for now, but is there something I missed?Thanks.

How To Create A Recordset That Joins 3 Temp Tables

Sep 26, 2006

I have an stp where I want to return a Recordset via a SELECT that joins 3 temp tables...

Here's what the temp tables look like (I am being brief)...

CREATE TABLE #Employees (EmpID INTEGER, EmpName NVARCHAR(40))

CREATE TABLE #PayPeriods (PayPeriodIndex INTEGER, StartDate DATETIME, EndDate DATETIME)

CREATE TABLE #Statistics (EmpID INTEGER, PayPeriodIndex INTEGER, HoursWorked REAL)

The #Employees table is populated for all employees.

The #PayPeriods table is populated for each calandar week of the year (PayPeriodIndex=0 to 51).

The #Statistics table is populated from data within another permanent table.

Some employees do not work all 52 weeks.

Some employees do not work any of the 52 weeks.

So, the #Statistics table doesn't have all possible combinations of Employees and PayPeriods.

I want to return a Recordset for all possible combinations of Employees and PayPeriods...

Here's a SELECT that I have used...

SELECT e.EmpId, e.Name, pp.PayPeriodIndex, ISNULL(s.HoursWorked,0)

FROM #Statistics s

LEFT OUTER JOIN #Employees e....

LEFT OUTER JOIN #PayPeriods pp ....

WHERE s.EmpId = e.EmpId

AND s.PayPeriodIndex = pp.PayPeriodIndex

I have had no luck with this SELECT.

Can anybody help???

TIA

Create A View Or Temp Table From 2 Tables

Jan 4, 2008



I have 2 tables:


Customer Table: ID, OrderID (composite key)

100, 1
100, 2
200, 3
200, 1
Order Table: OrderID, Detail

1, Orange
2, Apple
3, Pineaple


Assuming each customer always orders 2 items. I need to create a SQL query that shows as following (a view or a temp table is OK). How do I do that?


CustomerID, Order Detail1, Order Detail2

100, Orange, Apple
200, Pineaple, Orange

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"?

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

Temp. Tables / Variables / Process Keyed Tables ?

I Can't Create A Temp Table

Jul 20, 2005

Hi all!I have a problem with a temp table.I start creating my table:bdsqlado.execute ("CREATE TABLE #MyTable ...")There is no error. The sql string has been tested and when it'sexecuted in the sql query analyzer it really creates the table.After creating the table, I execute an insert statement:bdsqlado.execute ("INSERT INTO #MyTable VALUES(...) "It returns an error like this: "Invalid Object Name #MyTable"I don't understand what's wrong. If I execute both sql sentences inthe SQL Query Analyzer it works perfectly.I use the same connection to execute both statements and I don't closeit before the INSERT is executed.I think it may be something related to dynamic properties of theconnection, but I'm not sure. It's just an idea.Please I need help.Thanks a lot,

Create Temp Table Instead Of View?

Aug 23, 2013

I have a view which works fine but I cannot display the data in the Report tool because its

CCSID is HEX. If I could create it to temp table

I think then there would be an easy way to get around this problem.

This is the code:

CREATE VIEW astlib.acbalmpk AS (
(SELECT LMLTPC, COALESCE(IRLOC1,'') as IRLOC1,
COALESCE(IRLOC2,'')
as IRLOC2, COALESCE(IRLOC3,'') as IRLOC3, IRPRT#, IRQOH#, IRWHS#,
'' as IEPRT#, '.00' as IEQOH#, '' as IELOC1, '' as IELOC2, '' as
IELOC3, '' as IERIDC, '' as IEWHS#

Newbie How To Create Temp Table And Populate

Sorry guys I know this is easy but I've been looking for about an hour for a straight forward explanation.
I want to store a user's wish list while they browse the site, then they can send me an enquiry populated with their choices.
Basically, a shopping cart!
I thought of using session variables and string manipulations but I am more comfortable with DB queries.
a simple 4 column table would cover everything.

Create Temp Table/loop Through Records

Jun 19, 2008

Hi all

I'm new to sql and could do with some help resolving this issue.

My problem is as follows,

I have two tables a BomHeaders table and a BomComponents table which consists of all the components of the boms in the BomHeaders table.

The structure of BOMs means that BOMs reference BOMs within themselves and can potentially go down many levels:

In a simple form it would look like this:

LevelRef: BomA

1component A
1component B
1Bom D
1component C


What i would like to do is potentially create a temporary table which uses the BomReference as a parameter and will loop through the records and bring me back every component from every level

Which would in its simplest form look something like this

LevelRef: BomA

1......component A
1......component B
1......Bom D
2.........Component A
2.........Component C
2.........Bom C
3............Component F
3............Component Z
1......component C

I would like to report against this table on a regular basis for specific BomReferences and although I know some basic SQL this is a little more than at this point in time i'm capable of so any help or advice on the best method of tackling this problem would be greatly appreciated.

also i've created a bit of a diagram just in case my ideas weren't conveyed accurately.

SSIS Create Large Temp Files!!!

Oct 22, 2007



Hello,

I created a SSIS solution for reading data from dbase and storing them in SQL Server. In a ForEachDirectory-Loop up to one thousand dbase files are read and stored. The system where the packages are running has 16 GB RAM.
For the first few hundred dbase files everything goes fine, but then, the RAM seems not to suffice any more and a temp file is created (I changed the path in BufferTempStoragePath).

How can it be that there is a need to create temp files if there is so much RAM available?
Why is the RAM filled more and more during the SSIS package execution?
Is there anything I can do to release some of it? (it is running in a loop and there is no need to store all the data)
Could it be caused by dbase?? (I use Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider)

Another thing is that the temp file is not stored in the path I set in BufferTempStoragePath.
There are sufficient permissions set, but temp file is still created in user temp folder...

Any kind of help is very much appreciated!

Best Regards,
Stefan

DTS - SP And Temp Tables

Nov 3, 2000

I am attempting to execute a stored procedure as the sql query for a data transformation from sql into an excel file. The stored procedure I am calling uses temp tables (#tempT1, #tempT2, etc.) to gather results from various calculations. When I try to execute this sp, I get
'Error Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Error Description: Invalid Object name "#tempT1"'

Is there a way to make a DTS package call a stored procedure that uses temp tables?

##Temp Tables

Jun 16, 2004

I have a stored proc that creates a temporary table, then calls several other stored procs to insert data.


CREATE PROCEDURE usp_CreateTakeoff
@iEstimate int,
AS

CREATE TABLE ##Temp_Takeoff
(
Field1 ......
Field2 ......
)

-- Add Structural data
usp_AddStructural @iEstimateID, 1, 'Structural'
usp_AddForming @iEstimateID, 2, 'Forming'
...
...
...
GO


Now, a couple of problems, after the table is created and populated, I cannot find it in my list of tables, even after "refreshing".

I checked to ensure that it exists using the query analyzer and it does so I know the table is being created.

Also, I cannot see the table using crystal reports, connecting etc...... Can I not access a temporary table from 3rd party applications? I have crystal reports 7.0 professional.

Any ideas?

Temp Tables And UDF's

Dec 14, 2004

Hey,

I am in the process of modifying some stored procedures that currently do not use temp tables. For this modification I am required to make the stored procedures use temp tables. There are several UDF's within this stored procedure that will need to use the temp tables, and this is where in lies the problem. Does anyone know of a work around that would allow UDF's to use temp tables, or does anyone know of alternate methods instead of temp tables that wouldn't involve too much change?

Temp Tables

Apr 7, 2006

Hi,

I have a called stored procedure which creates a bunch of temporary tables, inserts data into them, indexes the tables and then returns to the main calling SP. In the main stored procedure I then do SELECTs from the temporary tables. My problem is I keep getting
invalid object errors on the temporary tables:
Invalid object name '#temp_table1'

The stored procedure is in a test environment. In the SELECT I tried a prefix of database owner (my logon) as well as "dbo." but still get the error. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong would be much appreciated.

How Do I Create A Temp Table As The Beginning Of A Process Flow?

Dec 29, 2006

Hi
Folx,
I
am new to SQL Server and I am struggling.

Versions:
Microsoft
SQL Server Integration Services Designer Version
9.00.1399.00





Microsoft
SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.1399.00













I
would like to
01.
create a temp table
02.
load the temp table from a flat file
03.
insert into a destination table the rows from the temp table where NOT EXIST the
primary key of the destination table.



ISSUES:



Flat
File Source will not accept that a resource will be available that does not yet
exist (the temp table)



I
set the Flat File Source to €œIgnore Failure€? and ran the package. It ran with
warnings but did not insert the new rows.



The
€œIgnore Duplicates€? radio button is €œgrayed out€? because the index is clustered



Now
I could work around this thing by keeping a table just for purposes of this
process flow. I am opposed to that philosophically and would prefer to do this
in the way that I consider appropriate€¦is there a solution?



Thanks,
Bill

No Temp Tables In SQLDatasource?????

Apr 12, 2006

   Please tell me there's something I haven't set.   I've done several tests now.   If your final return in a stored proc is from a temp table (ala #mytable ) the system cannot read the schema - for that matter, it won't run at all, complaining that the object #mytable doesn't exists.
It can't possible be that temp tables aren't allowed in procs used by SQLDatasource - please tell me what I am doing wrong.
This proc, when fed to a sqldatasource,  fails in the designer with #temp does not exists.
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.repTest_TempASBEGIN
CREATE TABLE #Temp( [iTestID]  uniqueidentifier, [bTest] [bit], [cTest] [varchar] )
INSERT INTO #TempSELECT *FROM tTest

Temp Tables And Performance

Mar 17, 2001

I have been researching some performance problems in a very large
application and I have a couple of questions about temp tables. (SQL 7.0
SP2)

I have one large procedure that I have been using as a test case.
Originally this procedure was a cursor with lots of processing steps
involving writing to, reading from and deleting in temp tables inside the
cursor. I remember reading that temp tables inside a cursor were a
potential performance problem, so I rewrote the procedure, replacing the
cursor with a While Loop.

Doing this showed no increase in performance. Since Profiler was showing .5
second duration times on statements in the procedure accessing the temp
tables I tested some more. I moved all the create statements to the top of
the procedure, as I know these statements after processing steps can cause
recompiles to happen. Still no performance increase.

Finally I replaced all the temp tables with actual tables, just to see what
would happen. With no other changes the performance increased by more than
500%.

Can someone give me some clues as to what is happening here, because if this
is a symptom of something I don't understand, the potential performance
problems from other places where temp tables are similarly used in the
application are enormous.

Thanks.
