SELECTing into temp tables

  • Hi all

    Does anyone know if it is possible that when doing a "SELECT ...  INTO #temptable FROM ... " something might happen (such as a deadlock) resulting in the temp table being created, but empty when it otherwise wouldn't be?

    Thanks

  • Bad criteria.  Empty source table.  Some error that allowed the creation of the table but no data to transfer.  There are a ton of reasons but can't tell because not all the code has been posted nor do we know the status of your source data, etc.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
