Question
I'm working with Sybase Central using Adaptive Server Anywhere 9 and I want some examples of how to use tempDB.
How can I insert some records in to a temporary table?
I tried:
select * into TempDB.dba.#testing from testTable
But I got the following error:
Syntax error near '.' on line 1
Solution
There are two sets of temp tables and you have mixed them up
1) Session related there are access as #table ie
select * into #testing from testTable
This lasts as long as your connection
2) tables in tempdb. These persist until the server gets rebooted.
select * into TempDB.testing from testTable
