Albert,
VFP doesn't do such clearing on itself. I don't know maxdb but with SQL server you can create local or global temporary tables and use them as long as they are in scope. ie:

Text to m.lcSQL noshow
CREATE TABLE #myTemp (myVal varchar(10))
INSERT INTO #myTemp VALUES ('hello')
INSERT INTO #myTemp VALUES ('there')
INSERT INTO #myTemp VALUES ('from fox')
EndText

lnHandle = SQLStringConnect('Driver=SQL server;Trusted_Connection=Yes;Server=(local)')
SQLExec(m.lnHandle,m.lcSQL)
SQLExec(m.lnHandle,"SELECT * FROM #myTemp where myVal like '%fox%'",'myResult')
SQLDisconnect(m.lnHandle)
Select myResult
browse

It should be something related to MaxDb syntax or driver.
