About User-Defined Temp Table

The technique of creating temp tables to extract data from permanent tables is often used, because the existence of the temp table is session related and you will need to create them within SQL Optimizer. The User-Defined Temp Table window allows you to create temp tables to be use throughout SQL Optimizer.

Create Temporary Tables

Temporary tables only exist in your current session. In order to optimize a SQL statement that uses temporary tables, these tables need to be created in this session before you optimize. The User-Defined Temp Table window allows the creation of temporary tables to be use throughout modules that use the original sessions that is created as you logon.

Temporary tables created in the User-Defined Temp Table module are used in the SQL Optimizer, Index Expert, and SQL Scanner. They also can be viewed in the Database Explorer.

Temporary tables are dropped when you:

  • Exit from the program

  • Reconnect with the same or a different user logon

  • Drop it using the User-Defined Temp Table module
