Is it possible to create the columns of a #Temp table base on a query result?

I’ve been trying without success something like this…

CREATE TABLE #table

(

(SELECT MAX(Column) FROM Table) varchar(50)

)

I'm working with SQL 2005; thank you for any help in advance.

Not quite like that.

You can SELECT ... INTO.

In the process, you need to provide a column Name for any computed or derived columns, and you can change the datatype.

Something like this:

Code Snippet

USE Northwind
GO

SELECT cast( max( EmployeeID ) AS decimal(6,2)) AS MaxEmp
INTO #MyTable
FROM Employees

|||

There are 2 options,

Create Table #Table (

ColumnValue Varchar(50)

);

Insert Into #Table

SELECT MAX(Column) FROM TableName;

--OR

SELECT Cast(MAX(Column) as Varchar(50)) ColumnValue Into #Table FROM TableName;

|||Thank you for the help provided so far. Another question on the same subject. How can the Column name be assigned dynamically after a query result? Thanks.

You should use the aliase name. if you failed to give the aliase name for the expression sql server thow an error says that "No column was specified for column n on tablename".

Code Snippet

Select Max(Column) as MaxColumn Into NewTable From OldTable

Select Max(Column) MaxColumn into Newtable From OldTable

As indicated above, No.

My apologies, I guess this statement was not clear enough.

In the process, you need to provide a column Name for any computed or derived columns...

is it possible to create a cube fact which is base on the result of a stored procedure

I want to create a cube fact which is base on the result of a stored procedure, is it possible?

In software there are few things that are not possible :)

The most common schenario for building cubes if first to build a data warehouse where you collect data in several tables. Then you design your cube and load data from datawarehouse.
