Declare @Table1Query nvarchar(512)
Set @Table1Query = 'Create Table #Table1' +
'(
Column1 nvarchar(255),
Column2 nvarchar(255),
Column3 nvarchar(255),
Column4 nvarchar(255)
)'
Exec sp_executesql @Table1Query
On execution of this dynamic query the server returns message "The commands completed successfully". But when i try to select from this table it raises error.
Select * From #Table1 --> this query raises following error
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name '#Table1'.
Can some one figure out wats the problem ??

Hatim Ali.

Look at the site I've mentioned here http://www.sqlservercentral.com/forums/shwmessage.aspx?forumid=8&messageid=129464
There you'll find the explanation why this won't work.

One way to work around the limitation of #table temp tables only being avilable in the process that creates them is to create global temp tables ##table or just use create table to create normal tables in tempdb.
Be aware that you will need to drop the tables after you are through with them.
