Using with vs declare a temporary table: performance / difference?

Question

I have created a sql function in SQLServer 2008 that declared a temporary table and uses it to compute a moving average on the values inside

Answer 1

In addition to what Martin answered

;with tempTable as 
(
    select * from aces.dbo.fEDVisitCounts('ALL', null,DATEADD(DD,-7,'01-09-2010'),
        '04-09-2010',0,130,null,1, 0)
)

SELECT * FROM tempTable

can also be written like this

SELECT * FROM 
(
    select * from aces.dbo.fEDVisitCounts('ALL', null,DATEADD(DD,-7,'01-09-2010'),
        '04-09-2010',0,130,null,1, 0)
) AS tempTable  --now you can join here with other tables
