temp-tables

I have a created a temporary table using the memory engine as followed: CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE IF NOT EXISTS some_text ( id INT DEFAULT 0, string varchar(400) DEFAULT '' ) engine = memory; When I insert rows into it I run into a #1114 error because the table is full. It explains in the mysql docs that changing the tmp_table_size and the max_heap_table_size don't do anything for increasing the size of user created temp tables, which is what I think I have here. How do I go about making this table larger? I would love to be able to do this dynamically with a call to SET, but I've tried setting

I have written a table-valued UDF that starts by a CTE to return a subset of the rows from a large table. There are several joins in the CTE. A couple of inner and one left join to other tables, which don't contain a lot of rows. The CTE has a where clause that returns the rows within a date range, in order to return only the rows needed. I'm then referencing this CTE in 4 self left joins, in order to build subtotals using different criterias. The query is quite complex but here is a simplified pseudo-version of it WITH DataCTE as ( SELECT [columns] FROM table INNER JOIN table2 ON [...] INNER

Problem Background Generating and accessing data of a fixed column layout is easy. You can create local temp tables up-front, and populate them by calling stored procedures. On the other hand, if you want to generate data with a dynamic column layout, you must generally build an SQL statement dynamically and execute it with "exec sp_executesql". Since the data layout is unknown at run-time, you cannot create a temp-table up-front, and once inside the "exec sp_executesql" statement, any temporary tables created there are bound to that scope and vanish when the call returns, so it's much more
