Hi all:

I opened a session to MS SQl. I did not terminate it until the end in c#.net.

First I called a stored procedure that creates a temporay table #xxxx. After processing some data for updating, I then called another stored procedure that uses the table table #xxxx created in the first stored procedure. But in the second procedure I am getting the error that says #xxxx not found.

Why am I getting such as error. According to the known rule, the temporary table in MS SQL is supposed to exist through out the session.

Thanks!

There are two types of temporary table in MS SQL
one is Local temporary table and other one is Global temporary table.
#xxxx is the local temporary table which can be accessed in the same stored procedure in which you are creating them. To use in different stored procedures use Global temporary table.
You can create them like ##xxxx.
This table exists till you have connection the the database. Once you disconnect the table will be dropped.
