Hi guys,
I had reached out to everyone earlier today to ask for help, and I was able to take a lot away from that, so thank you in advance.
I'm looking to turn the query that I created into a "Temp Table".
I've searched far and wide on the internet and can find little to no literature on it.
Can anyone help me get started with creating a temp table?
The previous query was as follows:
SELECT A.Portfolio, B.PortfolioID, SUM(B.MarketValue) AS SumOfMV,
COUNT(B.SecID) AS [# of Securities]
From ERTutAccounts A
INNER JOIN ERTutPositions B ON A.PortfolioID = B.PortfolioID
GROUP BY A.Portfolio, B.PortfolioID
HAVING COUNT(B.SecID) > 70 OR SUM(B.MarketValue) > 30000000
Before attempting to build the above query into a temp table, I simply attempted a really trivial table to no avail. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong and the right place to begin?
CREATE TABLE #Test
(PortfolioID int,
Portfolio varchar(200))
INSERT INTO #Test (PortfolioID, Portfolio)
SELECT PortfolioID, Portfolio
FROM ERTutAccounts
WHERE PortfolioID = 1

What is the issue you are having? The query you posted looks like it should work fine, assuming the base table exists.

Hi Sean,
The query itself works fine, I'm having an issue converting this into a temp table. I'm not even quite sure how temp tables work in theory, but I'm attempting to convert the functional query into a temp table.

I don't think I understand what you mean about converting a query into a temp table. Temp tables work just like a permanent table but they will go away when the connection it closed, or it is dropped.
You could have your original query generate and populate a temp table if you want quite easily.
SELECT A.Portfolio, B.PortfolioID, SUM(B.MarketValue) AS SumOfMV,
COUNT(B.SecID) AS [# of Securities]
INTO #YourTempTable
From ERTutAccounts A
INNER JOIN ERTutPositions B ON A.PortfolioID = B.PortfolioID
GROUP BY A.Portfolio, B.PortfolioID
HAVING COUNT(B.SecID) > 70 OR SUM(B.MarketValue) > 30000000
If you execute this you will now have a temp table called #YourTempTable that has the results of your above query. You can now treat it like any other table for the duration of your process.

Misplaced quotes.
