Global Temp Tables

Aug 11, 1998

Hi everyone:

I am creating an sp, in which I check for the existence of a global temp table (using the exists)
statement. If the Exists returns a false, I move on to processing without the temp table. If it
returns a true, I utilize the temp table to do some inserts. I create the temp table when my
application first starts up. The problem that I am facing is that the check for the temp table`s
existence seems to be failing. Is there any other way to check for the existence of a global
temp table??

Any info really appreciated
Thanks
Nisha

A Curious Error Message, Local Temp Vs. Global Temp Tables?!?!?

Nov 17, 2004

Hi all,

Looking at BOL for temp tables help, I discover that a local temp table (I want to only have life within my stored proc) SHOULD be visible to all (child) stored procs called by the papa stored proc.

However, the following code works just peachy when I use a GLOBAL temp table (i.e., ##MyTempTbl) but fails when I use a local temp table (i.e., #MyTempTable). Through trial and error, and careful weeding efforts, I know that the error I get on the local version is coming from the xp_sendmail call. The error I get is: ODBC error 208 (42S02) Invalid object name '#MyTempTbl'.

Here is the code that works:SET NOCOUNT ON

CREATE TABLE ##MyTempTbl (SeqNo int identity, MyWords varchar(1000))
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('Put your long message here.')
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('Put your second long message here.')
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('put your really, really LONG message (yeah, every guy says his message is the longest...whatever!')
DECLARE @cmd varchar(256)
DECLARE @LargestEventSize int
DECLARE @Width int, @Msg varchar(128)
SELECT @LargestEventSize = Max(Len(MyWords))
FROM ##MyTempTbl

SET @cmd = 'SELECT Cast(MyWords AS varchar(' +
CONVERT(varchar(5), @LargestEventSize) +
')) FROM ##MyTempTbl order by SeqNo'
SET @Width = @LargestEventSize + 1
SET @Msg = 'Here is the junk you asked about' + CHAR(13) + '----------------------------'
EXECUTE Master.dbo.xp_sendmail
'YoMama@WhoKnows.com',
@query = @cmd,
@no_header= 'TRUE',
@width = @Width,
@dbuse = 'MyDB',
@subject='none of your darn business',
@message= @Msg
DROP TABLE ##MyTempTbl

The only thing I change to make it fail is the table name, change it from ##MyTempTbl to #MyTempTbl, and it dashes the email hopes of the stored procedure upon the jagged rocks of electronic despair.

Any insight anyone? Or is BOL just full of...well..."stuff"?

Global Temp Tables

May 29, 2006

Hi group,

I want to create several global temp tables. I've created a script:

if not object_id('tempdb..##tbl_ProductTypes') is null
begin
drop table ##tbl_ProductTypes
end
select * into ##tbl_ProductTypes from dbo.tbl_ProductTypes

This script creates a global temp table. When I run it in QA the table is created. When I close QA the table is dropped. This is correct since I found the following in BoL:
[Global temporary tables are automatically dropped when the session that created
the table ends and all other tasks have stopped referencing them. The
association between a task and a table is maintained only for the life of a
single Transact-SQL statement. This means that a global temporary table is
dropped at the completion of the last Transact-SQL statement that was actively
referencing the table when the creating session ended.]

I created a job that executes the statement above. The job exists with success, however the table is not created!

Why wasn't the table created??

TIA

Regards,

SDerix

Transact SQL :: Global Temp Tables

Jun 3, 2015

I have two global temp tables in my stored procedure.Is it possible for me to make the execution of a stored procedure dynamic. Based on a flag parameter value I should get the result set from first temp table  and viceversa ex: If my flag is 0.I should be able to get the result set from ##temp1 (select * from ##temp1).If my flag is 1.I should be able to get the result set from ##temp2 (select * from ##temp2).

Dropping Global Temp Tables Programatically

Oct 4, 2006

Hi,

I want to drop a Global temp table within a stored procedure.
But first, I want to check it's existence.

So, what I would like to do is something like this

if exists
(select * from sysobjects where name like '##globaltemptable')
drop table ##globaltemptable

But I don't think the global temp tables get stored in sysobjects.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Nested Stored Proc. And Global Temp Tables

Mar 2, 1999

I have an sql file that contains several queries that are generating numbers to populate a sql table. The sql file is too large for a single sp so I am nesting them. I have 4 nested stored procedures. Each of the queries in each stored procedure dumps into its own global temp table. The final stored procedure needs to insert into a sql table all the information gathered in the global temp tables. So the final stored proc. looks something like:
"Create procedure usp_myProc_4 AS EXEC usp_myProc_3
INSERT INTO mySQLTable (a,b,c)
SELECT a, b, c FROM ##myTempTable (which was created in usp_myProc_1)

INSERT INTO mySQLTable (a,b,c)
SELECT a, b, c FROM ##myOtherTempTable

INSERT INTO......etc;"

I have done this befor and it worked fine. The only difference is that when I did this before these insert statements were being called from within an sp_makewebtask procedure.

Now when I try to save this final stored procedure it tells me "Invalid Object Name: ##myTempTable"

How do I call on these global temp tables from my final nested stored procedure?

Thanks for any help.

Global Temp Tables Getting Dropped Form Time To Time

Apr 10, 2007

Hi all,

I have created several global temp tables to cache some intermediate results ...
However, it seems that after a while those tables will be dropped by SQL Server 2005 automatically (I have not restarted the server and no drop table statement ever executed against those tables). Is this a feature by design? How to make those global temp tables persistence to next service restart?

Thanks,

Global Temp Table ....

Feb 24, 2005

Hi:

A regular permanent table is not an option:
Need to exec a procA which at the end also exec procB.

procA will insert to table A and also generate a intermidate result set to a ##A global table, it works fine at this point. However, when it exec the procB at the end of exec procA, the ##A global table is empty when entering procB.

The key is I want to pass a records set to the procB without using a tableTempB. Does a ## global table should be still alive until procB execution is done?

I also tried use table variable, but it does not look like to accept @tableA
as part of the procB's parameters.

Also tried function, but it could not support a #tempTable within it which will do a dynamic query insertion.

thanks
David

I have a pivot table implementation, part of which is posted below. Itreturns no errors in query analyzer, but when profiler is run, it showsthat "Error 208" is happening. I looked that up in BOL and it meansthat an object doesn't exist. This block of code below works fine on mylocal development machine, but not on our shared development serveruntil I go into the tempdb and make the user have the role db_owner.Even wierder is that when I do a select * from ##pivot there is noerror, but if I specify the single column name (pivot) i.e. selectpivot from ##pivot, it takes the error...Obviously this is a rights issue, but is there any way around thisother than making the user owner of tempdb??declare @select varchar(8000), @PackageId intset @PackageId = 10set @select = 'selectCompany = COALESCE(Users.Company, Contact.Company, ''''),SubContractPackageVendor.Id, SubContractPackageVendor.isActive,SubContractPackageVendor.isAwarded,SubContractPackageVendor.UserOrContactType,SubContractPackageVendor.UserOrContactIdFROMSubContractPackageVendorLEFT JOIN SubContractPackage ON SubContractPackageVendor.PackageId =SubContractPackage.IdLEFT JOIN Users ON UserOrContactType = ''User'' AND UserOrContactId =Users.UserIdLEFT JOIN UserRoles ON UserOrContactType = ''User'' ANDUserRoles.UserId = Users.UserId AND UserRoles.ProjectId =SubContractPackage.ProjectIdLEFT JOIN Role ON Role.RoleId = UserRoles.RoleIdLEFT JOIN Contact ON UserOrContactType = ''Contact'' ANDUserOrContactId = Contact.IdLEFT JOIN SubContractLineItem ONSubContractLineItem.RefType = ''Package'' ANDSubContractLineItem.RefId = SubContractPackageVendor.PackageIdLEFT JOIN SubContractLineItem as SubContractPackageVendorItem ONSubContractPackageVendorItem.RefType = ''PackageVendor'' ANDSubContractPackageVendorItem.RefId = SubContractPackageVendor.Id ANDSubContractPackageVendorItem.RefSubId = SubContractLineItem.IdWhereSubContractPackageVendor.PackageId = ' + CAST(@PackageId as varchar)+ 'GROUP BYSubContractPackageVendor.Id, SubContractPackageVendor.isActive,SubContractPackageVendor.isAwarded, Users.Company, Contact.Company,SubContractPackageVendor.UserOrContactType,SubContractPackageVendor.UserOrContactId'--print @sqldeclare @sumfunc varchar(100),@pivot varchar(100),@table varchar(100),@FieldPrefix varchar(5),@TotalFieldName varchar(50),@PivotFieldFilter varchar(1000)select@sumfunc ='Sum(isnull(SubContractPackageVendorItem.Total,0) )' ,@pivot ='SubContractLineItem.Category' ,@table ='SubContractLineItem' ,@FieldPrefix='~' ,@TotalFieldName = 'Total' ,@PivotFieldFilter = ' AND RefType=''Package'' AND RefId=' +CAST(@PackageId as varchar)set nocount onDECLARE @sql varchar(8000), @delim varchar(1), @TotalSql varchar(8000)SET NOCOUNT ONSET ANSI_WARNINGS OFFEXEC ('SELECT ' + @pivot + ' AS pivot INTO ##pivot FROM ' + @table + 'WHERE 1=2')EXEC ('INSERT INTO ##pivot SELECT DISTINCT ' + @pivot + ' FROM ' +@table + ' WHERE '+ @pivot + ' Is Not Null ' + @PivotFieldFilter)SELECT @sql='', @sumfunc=stuff(@sumfunc, len(@sumfunc), 1, ' END)' )SELECT @delim=CASE Sign( CharIndex('char',data_type)+CharIndex('date', data_type) )WHEN 0 THEN '' ELSE '''' ENDFROM tempdb.information_schema.columnsWHERE table_name='##pivot' AND column_name='pivot'select * from ##pivotDROP TABLE ##pivot

Remote-server Execution Of A Global Temp Stored Procedure

Oct 9, 2006

I have the following execution of a global temporary stored procedure on a remote SQL 2000 server:


insert into targetTable
exec remoteServer.master.dbo.sp_MSforeachdb ' ', @precommand = 'exec ##up_fetchQuery'

This is an ugly duck query but it seems to work fine. when I try to directly execute the remote stored procedure such as with


insert into query_log exec remoteServer.master.dbo.##up_fetchQuery

I get execution error


Server: Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 1
Could not find stored procedure '##up_xportQueryLog'.
Database name 'master' ignored, referencing object in tempdb.


When I try


insert into query_log exec remoteServer.tempdb.dbo.##up_fetchQuery

I get


Server: Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 1
Could not find stored procedure '##up_xportQueryLog'.
Database name 'tempdb' ignored, referencing object in tempdb.
with


insert into query_log exec remoteServer..dbo.##up_fetchQuery

or


insert into query_log exec remoteServer...##up_fetchQuery

I get


Server: Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 1
Could not find stored procedure '##up_xportQueryLog'.

I guess the remote server has trouble resolving the name of the global temp stored procedure when its reference comes in as a remote stored procedure calls. Is there any way to directly call a global temp stored procedure from a remote server or do I need to stick with this goofy-looking work-around?

Temp Table Vs Global Temp Table

Jun 24, 1999

I think this is a very simple question, however, I don't know the
answer. What is the difference between a regular Temp table
and a Global Temp table? I need to create a temp table within
an sp that all users will use. I want the table recreated each
time someone accesses the sp, though, because some of the
same info may need to be inserted and I don't want any PK errors.

thanks!!

Parties are really many tomany back to Claim and transaction tables.I have three stored procsinsertClaiminsertTransactioninsertPartiesFrom an xml point of view the data looks like this<claim><parties><info />insertClaim takes 3 sets of paramters - All the claim levelinformation (as individual parameters), All the parties on a claim (asone xml parameter), All the transactions on a claim(As one xmlparameter with Parties as part of the xml)insertClaim calls insertParties and passes in the parties xml -insertParties returns a recordset of the newly inserted records.insertClaim then uses that table to join the claim to the parties. Itthen calls insertTransaction and passes the transaction xml into thatsproc.insertTransaciton then inserts the transactions in the xml, and alsocalls insertParties, passing in the XML snippet

Global Temp Table Vs. Permanent Table Use

Dec 17, 2004

I need to decide what is better to use: global temp table ( I can't use local one) or permanent table in SQL 2000 stored procedures. I extract data from linked server table and update several tables on our server.
Those procedures scheduled to run every 3 hours.

Another question: for some reasons when I used global temp table, I wasn't able to schedule multi steps with every step executing one of the stored procedures.I think global temp tables should be visible to other stored procedures, right?

Your suggestions?

DTS - SP And Temp Tables

I am attempting to execute a stored procedure as the sql query for a data transformation from sql into an excel file. The stored procedure I am calling uses temp tables (#tempT1, #tempT2, etc.) to gather results from various calculations. When I try to execute this sp, I get
'Error Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server

Is there a way to make a DTS package call a stored procedure that uses temp tables?

##Temp Tables

Jun 16, 2004

I have a stored proc that creates a temporary table, then calls several other stored procs to insert data.


CREATE PROCEDURE usp_CreateTakeoff
@iEstimate int,
AS

CREATE TABLE ##Temp_Takeoff
(
Field1 ......
Field2 ......
)

-- Add Structural data
usp_AddStructural @iEstimateID, 1, 'Structural'
usp_AddForming @iEstimateID, 2, 'Forming'
...
...
...
GO


Now, a couple of problems, after the table is created and populated, I cannot find it in my list of tables, even after "refreshing".

I checked to ensure that it exists using the query analyzer and it does so I know the table is being created.

Also, I cannot see the table using crystal reports, connecting etc...... Can I not access a temporary table from 3rd party applications? I have crystal reports 7.0 professional.

Any ideas?

Temp Tables And UDF's

Dec 14, 2004

Hey,

I am in the process of modifying some stored procedures that currently do not use temp tables. For this modification I am required to make the stored procedures use temp tables. There are several UDF's within this stored procedure that will need to use the temp tables, and this is where in lies the problem. Does anyone know of a work around that would allow UDF's to use temp tables, or does anyone know of alternate methods instead of temp tables that wouldn't involve too much change?

Temp Tables

Apr 7, 2006

Hi,

I have a called stored procedure which creates a bunch of temporary tables, inserts data into them, indexes the tables and then returns to the main calling SP. In the main stored procedure I then do SELECTs from the temporary tables. My problem is I keep getting
invalid object errors on the temporary tables:
Invalid object name '#temp_table1'

The stored procedure is in a test environment. In the SELECT I tried a prefix of database owner (my logon) as well as "dbo." but still get the error. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong would be much appreciated.

No Temp Tables In SQLDatasource?????

Apr 12, 2006

   Please tell me there's something I haven't set.   I've done several tests now.   If your final return in a stored proc is from a temp table (ala #mytable ) the system cannot read the schema - for that matter, it won't run at all, complaining that the object #mytable doesn't exists.
It can't possible be that temp tables aren't allowed in procs used by SQLDatasource - please tell me what I am doing wrong.
This proc, when fed to a sqldatasource,  fails in the designer with #temp does not exists.
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.repTest_TempASBEGIN
CREATE TABLE #Temp( [iTestID]  uniqueidentifier, [bTest] [bit], [cTest] [varchar] )
