Hi everyone,

I would like to start using a new guid for my temp tables.

I am trying something like this....

DECLARE @table1 sysname
SET @table1 = '#'+REPLACE(NEWID(),'-','')
SELECT * INTO '+@table1+' FROM [dbo].[Client_Type]

but i am failing with the select into line....

any ideas?

thanks
tony

Why does the table name have to be dynamic? You'll need dynamic SQL for that, which is really not advised.

Just to check: Do you know that two people can do

SELECT ... INTO #MyTempTable ...

at the same time and there is no problem with the fact that both users have identical "#MyTempTable" names ?
