Insert Data Into Temp Table with Query

Question

I have an existing query that outputs current data, and I would like to insert it into a Temp table, but am having some issues doing so. Would anybody have some insight on h

Answer 1

This is possible. Try this way:

Create Global Temporary Table 
BossaDoSamba 
On Commit Preserve Rows 
As 
select ArtistName, sum(Songs) As NumberOfSongs 
 from Spotfy 
    where ArtistName = 'BossaDoSamba'
 group by ArtistName;

Answer 2

Personally, I needed a little hand holding figuring out how to use this and it is really, awesome.

IF(OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#TEMP') IS NOT NULL) BEGIN DROP TABLE #TEMP END
        SELECT *
            INTO #TEMP
            FROM (
            The query you want to use many times
            ) AS X

SELECT * FROM #TEMP WHERE THIS = THAT
SELECT * FROM #TEMP WHERE THIS <> THAT
SELECT COL1,COL3 FROM #TEMP WHERE THIS > THAT

DROP TABLE #TEMP
