Agreed!

Temp Tables! EWWWWWWWWW!

There are times that they are the only way to do a task and in those cases I use them. As a last resort. After I've tried every other thing I can think of.


Mind you, my definition of a temp table might not be the same as yours. To me a temp table is a permanent table that holds data temporarily. An example would be a POS product selection screen where the selection of products and quantities are all entered (into the temp table) and checked and payment is verified before the records are moved to the Billing table.
