Creating temporary table

Hi,

How can I create a temporary table say "Tblabc" with column fields

ShmCoy char(2)
ShmAcno char(10)
ShmName1 varchar(60)
ShmName2 varchar(60)

and fill the table from the data extracted from the statement...

"select logdetail from shractivitylog"

The above query returns single value field the data seperated with a ''

Ex:
BRLight Blue Duck

in this case I should get
ShmCoy = 'BR'
ShmAcno = ''
ShmName1 = 'Light Blue Duck'
ShmName2 = ''

I want to do this job with single SQL query. Is it possible. Pls help.

Herewith I am providing the sample data

BRLight Blue Duck
0234578
BRAqua Duck
0234586
UBAqua Duck

Regards,
OmavHi.

I think that is better using a stored procedure, but you can try with
this:

create table shractivitylog (logdetail varchar(50))
go

insert into shractivitylog values ('BRLight Blue Duck');
insert into shractivitylog values ('0234578');
insert into shractivitylog values ('BRAqua Duck');
insert into shractivitylog values ('0234586');
insert into shractivitylog values ('UBAqua Duck');

select cast(substring(logdetail,
1,
charindex('',logdetail)-1
) as char(2)) as ShmCoy,
cast(substring(logdetail,
charindex('',logdetail)+1,
charindex('',logdetail,charindex('',logdetail)+1 )-(charindex('',logdetail)+1)
) as char(10)) as ShmAcno,
cast(substring(logdetail,
charindex('',logdetail,charindex('',logdetail)+1 )+1,
charindex('',logdetail,charindex('',logdetail,ch arindex('',logdetail)+1)+1)-(charindex('',logdetail,charindex('',logdetail)+ 1)+1)
) as varchar(60)) as ShmName1,
cast(substring(logdetail,
charindex('',logdetail,charindex('',logdetail,ch arindex('',logdetail)+1)+1)+1,
charindex('',logdetail,charindex('',logdetail,ch arindex('',logdetail,charindex('',logdetail)+1)+ 1)+1)-(charindex('',logdetail,charindex('',logdetail,c harindex('',logdetail)+1)+1)+1)
) as varchar(60)) as ShmName2
into ##tblabc
from shractivitylog

select * from ##tblabc

Bye!

then insert the data using BULK INSERT

creating tables

Wondering if I while I create a table I can choose certain values a field can have?
Ex.
CREATE TABLE test
(
Subject_code char(20) NOT NULL,
Student_id char(20) NOT NULL,
Result GOOD or BAD or SUPERGOOD (this is just an example)
)

If a field can have 2 values I can use bit (boolean). But is there a way to do this with several values?Normally you would use a check constraint. Like this:
CREATE TABLE dbo.ExampleTable (
EntryID int NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1),
Result varchar(32) NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT ExampleTable_Result_CK CHECK (
Result IN ('GOOD', 'BAD', 'SUPERGOOD'))
)

INSERT INTO ExampleTable (Result) VALUES ('GOOD')
INSERT INTO ExampleTable (Result) VALUES ('BAD')
INSERT INTO ExampleTable (Result) VALUES ('UGLY')

SELECT * FROM ExampleTable
