Creating Temporary within Stored Procedure

I'm creating a temporary table within my stored procedure should I add a
drop temporary table statement at the end of my stored procedure so that if
stored procedure fails the temporary table will be dropped?
Thanks
No need to; SQL Server will automatically drop the temporary table when the
procedure returns, regardless of whether it was successful or not.

creating temporary table with SELECT INTO

Hi

Dose any body know why a temporary table gets deleted after querying it the
first time (using SELECT INTO)?
When I run the code bellow I'm getting an error message when open the temp
table for the second time.
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80040E37)
Invalid object name '#testtable'.

-----------------------
-----
cnn.Execute("SELECT category, product INTO #testtable FROM properties")
'--creating temporary TestTable and populate it with values from another
table

SET rst_testt = cnn.Execute("SELECT * from #testtable") '-- opening
the temporary TestTable
SET rst_testt2 = cnn.Execute("SELECT * from #testtable") '-- ERROR
opening the temporary TestTable for the second time (that where the error
occurred)

rst_testt2.Close '-- closing table connection
SET rst_testt2 = nothing

rst_testt.Close '-- closing table connection
SET rst_testt = nothing

cnn.Execute("DROP TABLE #testtable") '-- dropping the temporary
TestTable

But when I create the temp table first and then INSERT INTO that table some
values then it is working fine.
'-----------------------

cnn.Execute("CREATE TABLE #testtable (category VARCHAR(3), product

cnn.Execute("INSERT INTO #testtable VALUES('5','4')")

Does any body know why the first code (SELECT INTO) is not working where the

What's happening is that ADO is opening a second connection behind your
back. This has really not anything to do with how you created the table.

The reason that ADO opens an extra connection, is because there are
rows waiting to be fetched on the first connection, so ADO cannot
submit a query on that connection. I cannot really say why it only happened
in one place, but it may be related to the type of cursor you picked,
and the fact that in the second example, there is only one row in
the table.

Use a static client-side cursor. I would expect this to resovle the
problem.

You were right.
ADO is opening an extra connection thats why it is not working and the
second example is working because only one record was inserted. If I
change to second code to:

cnn.Execute("INSERT INTO #testtable VALUES('5','4')")
cnn.Execute("INSERT INTO #testtable VALUES('2','3')") -- inserting
second row

Then it is not working, same as the first example.

As you have suggested in your previous email to use a static client-side
cursor, I have change to code to:

set rst_tre = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet"
rst_tre.CursorLocation = 1 '-- adUseClient
rst_tre.CursorType = 3 '-- adOpenStatic
rst_tre.LockType = 2 -- adLockOptimistic
sql_tre = "SELECT category, product INTO #testtable FROM products"
rst_tre.Open sql_tre,cnn
SET rst_tre = nothing

But it is still not working.
Any suggestion why?

I head a look at some logs from SQL:

SQL:BatchCompleted; SELECT category, product INTO #testtable FROM
products
SQL:BatchCompleted; SELECT * from #testtable
Audit Login -- network protocol:
SQL:BatchCompleted SELECT * from #testtable
Audit Logout

Any suggestions why ADO opens another connection after opening the
#testtable for the first time?

Another think I have noticed is that when I open the #testtable only
once it is working fine.

Thanks,
Gonzal

I have to admit that I'm no ADO guru, so I cannot really say what is
happening. However I did a quick test, and this did not give me a
second connection:

Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim cnnErr As ADODB.Error
Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim rs2 As New ADODB.Recordset

On Error GoTo errHandle

Dim oCommand As ADODB.Command

cnn.ConnectionString = "Provider=" & Trim$(Provider.Text) & ";" & _

"User Id=" & Trim$(User.Text) & ";" & _
"Password=" & Trim$(Password.Text) & ";" & _
"Initial Catalog=" & Trim$(Database.Text) & ";" & _
"Use Procedure for Prepare=0"
cnn.ConnectionTimeout = 5
cnn.CursorLocation = adUseClient
cnn.Open

Set oCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set oCommand.ActiveConnection = cnn

oCommand.CommandType = adCmdText
oCommand.CommandText = "select name into #temp from sysobjects"
oCommand.Execute

rs.Open "SELECT * FROM #temp", cnn
rs2.Open "SELECT * FROM #temp", cnn

Creating temporary table using a template table dynamically

I'm having an application for users to extract data from sql 2K. Problem is that I need to split the huge amount of data into few pages on the application screen.

Since my order by clause could be dynamic, which is a big problem, the solution I can think of is to populate a temporary table ( within a stored proc ) and assign a column within the temporary table with a running number.

This stored proc would accept among them, an argument, which is the table name of a base table.

However, I would like to create this stored proc in such a way that I could create a temporary table based on given based table name, complete with the field sizes and types. On top of that, would like to add a new column to this temp table to store a running number key.

Opinions appreciated. :)Refer to this linkSQL Performance (http://www.sql-server-performance.com/rd_temp_tables.asp) for information.

Creating Temporary Table From a View

Hi,
I would like to create a temporary table is a stored procedure which
contains all the same set of columns as one of my view in the
database. Is there anyway I can do this? I would also like to update
the temp table in the stored procedure itself.
Something like as follows
CREATE TABLE #tmpTable --I dont want to specify the list of columns
SELECT * INTO #tmpTable FROM vwTest
UPDATE #tmpTable SET ......
Can anyone please help me with this?
Thank you
EricGos,
How about SELECT * INTO #mytemptable from viewname
Note that using * in production code is generally not considered good =practice, as things can change oif columns added or removed.

It works fine. I have a view which contains only the columns that are
required to be displayed on the User Interface. So, I thought that I
can use that view (SELECT * ) instead of giving a long list of
columns. Isn't it a good programming practice?

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!

Creating temp table in SP - what about indexes ?

I am creating temporary tables in a Stored Procedure, to create paging for a
web frontend.
I do this by creating a temp table with a "identity" field, then copying all
relevant data into the temp table, and then in the end I select out the
actual "page" from the total temp table, ie. from record ID 100 to 150.
During this process, I was wondering if my temp table should have an index,
for optimal performance ?
If my temp table has ie. 5000 records, and I want to select and return only
records from 3500 to 3550, I select with a "where clause" specifying only
records from 3500 to 3550, using the identity field, which automatically
works as a "record counter" for my totalt recordset.
But should I create an index on the identity field, before filling the temp
table with records, and then selecting the actual page to return ?
I mean, if I query using a where clause specifying an column without an
index, wouldnt this create table scans ?
-
Regards,
Tony G.I would think creating the clustered index before filling the table would
give you optimal performance as the data is ordered on insert.
Test each scenario and then you'll be satisfied that you have the best metho
d.

Correct.
I'm a bit through. You say that you create a temp table in the proc
. But how do you re-use
this temp table? I hope that you don't create the temp table, populate it an
d then select from it
each time a user want to display a page?

Creating multiple temporary databases.

Hello,
I noticed that when we installed SQL 2000 Reporting services that two
databases are created one being ReportServerTempDB. This got me to thinkin
g
about Oracle databases where I can create multiple temporary 'tablespaces'
and then I can assign specific users to specific tablespaces.
In a SQL environment, can I create separate tempdbs that will be used by
separate users and/or applications? How do Reporting Services use the
ReportServerTempDB?
I'm trying to create a shared hosting environment in my organization and
don't want competing applications filling up the tempdb. I'd much prefer
that each application uses it's own temp space.
Thanks!

It uses it for caching and snapshots. Lots of reads and writes with a low
requirement for backup.
But it's an ordinary user database.

creating DDL from a temporary table

I need to write a DDL Create script for a table in TempDb.
In Query Analyzer, I can see the table, but when I right click on the table
and attempt to script the Create I get a message telling that it could not
find the object in the collection (and it suggests I may want to use
qualifiers).
In Enterprise Manager, I can not see any user talbes in TempDb.
How do I get the scripts, ie, the DDL Create syntax...besides writing it
myself.
I have about 30 views which need to be changed to tables
ThaniksMaterialize the table, then script it:
Select * INTO SomeMaterializedTable
From #YourTempTable
Where 1= 2 --To have no rows, only the structure
