Estimated Execution Plan Temp Table

Estimated Execution Plan on Temp Table Estimated Execution Plan with #TempTable Estimated Execution Plan MS SQL Server Recently I encountered a problem while trying to understand the performance issues with one of my stored procedures in SQL Server 2008. This specific stored procedure uses a #tempTable to store some data. It looks like this: Obviously I encountered "Invalid object name '#TempTable'." I saw some places online which suggested several things, but the best solution for this was the simplest. 1. Simply comment the "drop table #tempTable" you do at the end of the stored procedure. 2. Run the query (which will save the #tempTable). 3. Click on the Estimated Execution Plan button. Since you have data in your #tempTable, you can run it freely. p.s. Don't forget to drop this table when you're done. Hope it helped, Elad Shalom, CTO at ITweetLive.com
