Temp table usage in dynamic sql

    Ah. I thought that the end of the dynamic SQL would mean that the last reference to the global temp table was gone.

    BOL doesn't make it clear - at least not to me...

    Global temporary tables are automatically dropped when the session that created the table ends and all other tasks have stopped referencing them. The association between a task and a table is maintained only for the life of a single Transact-SQL statement. This means that a global temporary table is dropped at the completion of the last Transact-SQL statement that was actively referencing the table when the creating session ended.

    I found out by mistake I mean trial and error 🙂
