How to create TEMPORARY TABLE in SQL Server


1. The syntax to create a LOCAL TEMPORARY TABLE in SQL Server is:
               

       CREATE TABLE #table_name
      ( 
        column1 datatype [ NULL | NOT NULL ],
        column2 datatype [ NULL | NOT NULL ],
        ...
      );

Not: The name of LOCAL TEMPORARY TABLES are prefixed with the # character 
         (Ex. #Customer)

For Example 

      CREATE TABLE #Customer
      ( 
          cus_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
          first_name VARCHAR(20) NULL,
          last_name VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL
       );


Note: The #Customer table is stored in tempdb and SQL Server will automatically delete this table when the SQL Server session no longer requires it.
