Using A Variable To Create Temp Table
Mar 3, 2003Can someone send me an example of creating a variable to use instead of a temp table? I cannot find an example on books on line, but know it is possible in SQL2000.

Power Pivot :: Temp Table Or Table Variable In Query (not Stored Procedure)?
Jul 19, 2012I don't know if it's a local issue but I can't use temp table or table variable in a PP query (so not in a stored procedure).
Environment: W7 enterprise desktop 32 + Office 2012 32 + PowerPivot 2012 32
Simple example:
   declare @tTable(col1 int)
   insert into @tTable(col1) values (1)
   select * from @tTable
Works perfectly in SQL Server Management Studio and the database connection is OK to as I may generate PP table using complex (or simple) queries without difficulty.
But when trying to get this same result in a PP table I get an error, idem when replacing table variable by a temporary table.
Message: OLE DB or ODBC error. .... The current operation was cancelled because another operation the the transaction failed.
Using A Temp Table And Variable With Gridview
Jun 16, 2008Hi all, Im trying to use a temporary table along with a gridview. But i keep getting an issue that says that I need to declare the variable name.
Right now, I have it set up that I have a permanent table in the database that is serving as my temporary table, however Im running into issues if multiple users access at once... So I would like to dynamically create a table and use that for my temporary table and then drop the table when the user is done with it...
heres my code so far..Private Sub AddRecords(ByVal prodins As String, ByVal releaseins As String, ByVal opsysins As String, ByVal currelins As String, ByVal schemains As String, ByVal commentins As String, ByVal freeformins As String)
Dim tablevar As String = lblRequestor.TextDim tablename As String = "##" + tablevar Dim myConnection As New SqlClient.SqlConnection
Dim query As String = "CREATE TABLE " + tablename + "(UniqueID int Identity(1,1), Product varchar(50), OperatingSystem varchar(50), CurrentRelease varchar(50), Release varchar(50), SchemaSize varchar(50), Comments varchar(50), TempRelease varchar(50), FreeFormFlag varchar(50), sourcereleasedir varchar(125))"
Dim query2 As String = "INSERT INTO " + tablename + "(Product, Release, OperatingSystem, CurrentRelease, SchemaSize, Comments, TempRelease, FreeFormFlag) VALUES ('" & prodins & "','" & releaseins & "', '" & opsysins & "', '" & currelins & "', '" & schemains & "', '" & commentins & "', '" & currelins & "', '" & freeformins & "')"Dim myCommand As SqlClient.SqlCommandmyConnection = New SqlClient.SqlConnection("Data Source=mydatasource")
myConnection.Open()myCommand = New SqlClient.SqlCommand(query, myConnection)
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()myCommand = New SqlClient.SqlCommand(query2, myConnection)
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
myConnection.Close()
And here is my query for the gridview....
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM @tablename where FreeFormFlag <> 'Y'"
and
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="tablename" Name="tablename" PropertyName="Text" DefaultValue="##default" />
</SelectParameters>
so @tablename is set to the value of a textbox i have hidden which the textbox gets the username of the user and adds ## to it..so if john doe comes on... the texbox reads ##jdoe... and thats what im trying to name the temp table. SO the syntax is all there.... But i keep getting an error saying i need to declare @tablename... which is puzzling to me.. I tried doing
declare @tablename varchar (50)
select.....etc.
but then it brings up an error saying... @tablename is already declared, each variable must be unique..., You must declare @tablename... It tells me that its already declared then tells me i must declare it??? it makes no sense..
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Integration Services :: How To Use Temp Table / Variable
Aug 8, 2014It's SQL 2008 R2. I need to bring data from Oracle using .Net Providers/ODBC Data Provider to MS SQL table converting Oracle UTC dates to PST.  The source connection type cannot be changed as it's given. For the Destination I'm using the OLE DB.
As the truncate all and load could take time I'm trying to use a temp table or a variable to use it further with t-sql merge or not exists to bring/add the only new records to the destination table.
I'm trying different scenarios that is all failed.
Scenario A:
1. In DTF after OLE DB Source I'm using the Derived Colum to convert dates. It's working well.
2. Then use Recordset Destination with an object variable User::obj_TableACD. It's also working well.
3. Then I created a string variable with a simple query that I could modify later "select * from " + (DT_WSTR,10)@[User::obj_TableACD] trying to get data from the recordset object variable but it's not working.
Scenario B:
1. Created a store procedure to create a temp table.
2. Created a string variable to execute SP str_CreateTempTable: "EXEC dbo.TempTable". It's working well with the SQL Task with SQLSourceType as Variable.
3. Then how to populate the temp table from the Oracle source to bring data into the Destination?
SQL Server 2012 :: Stored Procedures Compiles Even When There Is No CREATE TABLE For A Temp Table
Feb 11, 2015i am inserting something into the temp table even without creating it before. But this does not give any compilation error. Only when I want to execute the stored procedure I get the error message that there is an invalid temp table. Should this not result in a compilation error rather during the execution time.?
--create the procedure and insert into the temp table without creating it.
--no compilation error.

INSERT INTO #tmp(dt)
SELECT GETDATE()

only on calling the proc does this give an execution error
The Age Old Argument Of Temp Table Vs Table Variable
Jan 26, 2007Hi All,Hope someone can help me...Im trying to highlight the advantages of using table variables asapposed to temp tables within single scope.My manager seems to believe that table variables are not advantageousbecause they reside in memory.He also seems to believe that temp tables do not use memory...Does anyone know how SQL server could read data from a temp tablewithout passing the data contained therein through memory???Is this a valid advantage/disadvantage of table variables VS temptables?

Jan 17, 2008In a previous post "Could #TempTable within SP cause lock on tempdb?" http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=2691763&siteid=1
It was obvious that we have to limit the use of #Temp table to a minimum. Let assume that some of the temp tables are really difficult to replace and we have to live with them.
Would it be easier on tempdb if the #TempTable is replaced by a table variable? Or do they all end up in tempdb?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I Can't Create A Temp Table
Jul 20, 2005Hi 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/loop Through Records
Jun 19, 2008Hi 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.

I tried this works in MSSQL 2005,
Code Snippet
create Table #t1 ([c1] int identity(1,1) not null, [c2] text)
create Table #t2 ([c1] int identity(1,1) not null, [c2] text)
Insert into #t1
Values('This is a test')
Insert into #t2
Values('This is a test')
Select * from #t1
Select * from #t2
Select * from #t1 where [c2] LIKE (Select [c2] from #t2)
drop table #t1
drop table #t2
but not MSSQL 2000.
Server: Msg 279, Level 16, State 3, Line 12
The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery or aggregate expression.
Is this true (from BOL)?
Code SnippetIn comparing these column values, if any of the columns to be compared are of type text, ntext, or image, FOR XML assumes that values are different (although they may be the same because Microsoft® SQL Server„¢ 2000 does not support comparing large objects); and elements are added to the result for each row selected.
How Do I Create A Temp Table As The Beginning Of A Process Flow?
Dec 29, 2006Hi
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

Dec 28, 2006Hi,
I am using a SQL back end to dynamically populate an asp.net report/page.
As the data I'm interrogating is created from a tree control, I'm having to use a recursive function to retrieve the data into a series of ID values. This all happens at the moment in a DataTable manipulated with c# code. So my ID values end up in this datatable.
My problem is that I am then performing a crosstab query in SQL Server 2000 and these ID are required as part of that query.
Should I create a temp table and join this into the query or should i feed in a series of ID values into a where clause?
Any help gratefully appreciated.
Thanks.

Transact SQL :: Create Temp Table That Persists While A Front End App Is Open
Sep 30, 2015I have an Access app. that I am migrating the DB portion (queries, tables) to SQL server. I need to create a temp table that lasts as long as the user has the Access FE app. open. Idea is that the temp table stores the user's parameters (used for filtering data entry forms and report). The parameters allow the app. to only show the user his data (cannot view other users data). The SP shown below works OK, it creates a ##Temp table and updates it with the parameters sent by Access FE app. The issue I am having is that as soon as the SP finishes the ##Temp table is removed. I thought of using a regular table, but, I am currently testing this migration in my local SQL server instance, as soon as I move the database to production environment, then users will not be able to create tables as permissions are only read/write.
