Cetin,
Thank you very much for the example of creating temporary table in SQL Server.
But as I look at your example, I am wondering what is better/faster/more efficient: 1. Creating a temp table and, say, inserting 20 or 50 rows into the temp table (which means calling SQLExec so many times. Or 2. Creating a string of values to be used in the IN clause of one SQL Select against the "myTable" without temp table. What is your (and others) feeling on that?
