| Yes, you can insert into a #table. Keep in mind that when your session ends that the #table gets dropped automatically. |

| "If not is the easiest way to create a physical table and then transfer the data into a temp table?"We try not to do that on production database because it pollutes the table "name space", and tends to extend the logs in an erratic fashion!When we do have a need to do this we try to create them in a separate database, so the "pollution" is not in the Production database, and we always name them TEMP_xxx_YYMMDD so that the housekeeping of them becomes pretty obvious after-the-fact.So inserting into a #table would be preferable (or even a @TableVar one) if the data is only needed within the session, as Van pointed out.Kristen |
