Insert Data Into Temp Table with Query

Question

I have an existing query that outputs current data, and I would like to insert it into a Temp table, but am having some issues doing so. Would anybody have some insight on how to do this?

Here is an example

SELECT *
FROM  (SELECT Received,
              Total,
              Answer,
              ( CASE
                  WHEN application LIKE '%STUFF%' THEN 'MORESTUFF'
                END ) AS application
       FROM   FirstTable
       WHERE  Recieved = 1
              AND application = 'MORESTUFF'
       GROUP  BY CASE
                   WHEN application LIKE '%STUFF%' THEN 'MORESTUFF'
                 END) data
WHERE  application LIKE isNull('%MORESTUFF%', '%') 

This seems to output my data currently the way that i need it to, but I would like to pass it into a Temp Table. My problem is that I am pretty new to SQL Queries and have not been able to find a way to do so. Or if it is even possible. If it is not possible, is there a better way to get the data that i am looking for WHERE application LIKE isNull('%MORESTUFF%','%') into a temp table?

   FROM
     FirstTable
   WHERE
     Recieved = 1 AND
     application = 'MORESTUFF'
   GROUP BY
     CASE WHEN application LIKE '%STUFF%' THEN 'MORESTUFF' END) data
WHERE
  application LIKE
    isNull(
      '%MORESTUFF%',
      '%')

SQL Server R2 2008 needs the AS clause as follows:

SELECT * 
INTO #temp
FROM (
    SELECT col1, col2
    FROM table1
) AS x

The query failed without the AS x at the end.

---

EDIT

It's also needed when using SS2016, had to add as t to the end.

 Select * into #result from (SELECT * FROM #temp where [id] = @id) as t //<-- as t

Answer 3

Fastest way to do this is using "SELECT INTO" command eg

SELECT * INTO #TempTableName
FROM....

This will create a new table, you don't have to create it in advance.

Answer 4

Personally, I needed a little hand holding figuring out how to use this and it is really, awesome.

IF(OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#TEMP') IS NOT NULL) BEGIN DROP TABLE #TEMP END
        SELECT *
            INTO #TEMP
            FROM (
            The query you want to use many times
            ) AS X

SELECT * FROM #TEMP WHERE THIS = THAT
SELECT * FROM #TEMP WHERE THIS <> THAT
SELECT COL1,COL3 FROM #TEMP WHERE THIS > THAT

DROP TABLE #TEMP

Answer 5

You can do that like this:

INSERT INTO myTable (colum1, column2)
SELECT column1, column2 FROM OtherTable;

Just make sure the columns are matching, both in number as in datatype.

Answer 6

Try this:

SELECT *
INTO #Temp
FROM 
(select * from tblorders where busidate ='2016-11-24' and locationID=12
) as X

Please use alias with x so it will not failed the script and result.

Answer 7

SELECT * INTO #TempTable 
FROM SampleTable
WHERE...

SELECT * FROM #TempTable
DROP TABLE #TempTable

Answer 8

This is possible. Try this way:

Create Global Temporary Table 
BossaDoSamba 
On Commit Preserve Rows 
As 
select ArtistName, sum(Songs) As NumberOfSongs 
 from Spotfy 
    where ArtistName = 'BossaDoSamba'
 group by ArtistName;

Answer 9

use as at end of query

Select * into #temp (select * from table1,table2) as temp_table
