Need help creating a temporary table in MS SQL Server.

Hello,

I am working on a webapp using VB.net

Right now I am writing to a sql table during a process where the end userstarts entering the contents for a file that is going to be generated once hefinishes entering the data, but the problem is that if more than one user isdoing the same process the data would get mixed up. To avoid this Ithought in creating a temporary table (its name will consist of a stringand the current date time).

I would like to see any tutorialabout creating and working with temp tables. Or if you have anysuggestions, I will appreciate them. Thanks

There are two types of temp tables in SQL Server # local temp table scope very limted but also the most used because it uses less resources and SQL Server may clean up if you forget it, the other ## global temp table longer scope but you must drop it explicitly or it can harm your application. Try the link below for some tricks of how to use the temp tables, I am assuming you know they are created in the Temp Db. Hope this helps.
