I want to create a dummy field in temporary table that can hold floating values. How I may do this

select employeeid, bin = 0 into ##tmp from employees

update ##tmp
set bin = 85.114
where user_id = 1

select * from ##tmp
drop table ##tmp

Thanks I have done this in the following way
declare @sql varchar(5000)
select @sql = 'select user_id, bin = ''000.000'' into ##tmp from yp_users'
print @sql
exec(@sql)

update ##tmp
set bin = 85.114
where user_id = 1

select * from ##tmp
drop table ##tmp
