I have an idea about temporary table,but no idea in which situation I should use

Why would you need it in the first place? Are you wanting to use it ‘just to use it’?

5

Temporary tables can come into their own if your repeatedly manipulating a large amount of data, usually derived from a regular table.

maybe the asp.net guys don’t know how to write efficient queries :stuck_out_tongue:

What purpose does it serve (having simply a concept of temporary tables) if you do not yet know the situation in which you will use it in?

Maybe you should explain your idea a bit more, as there could be a way around it, instead of using temporary tables.
