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 how to do this?

Here is an example

SELECT *
FROM (SELECT Received, Total, Answer, ( CASE WHEN application LIKE '%STUFF%' THEN 'MORESTUFF' END ) AS application FROM FirstTable WHERE Recieved = 1 AND application = 'MORESTUFF' GROUP BY CASE WHEN application LIKE '%STUFF%' THEN 'MORESTUFF' END) data
WHERE application LIKE isNull('%MORESTUFF%', '%') 

This seems to output my data currently the way that i need it to, but I would like to pass it into a Temp Table. My problem is that I am pretty new to SQL Queries and have not been able to find a way to do so. Or if it is even possible. If it is not possible, is there a better way to get the data that i am looking for WHERE application LIKE isNull('%MORESTUFF%','%') into a temp table?

SELECT *
INTO #Temp
FROM (SELECT Received, Total, Answer, (CASE WHEN application LIKE '%STUFF%' THEN 'MORESTUFF' END) AS application FROM FirstTable WHERE Recieved = 1 AND application = 'MORESTUFF' GROUP BY CASE WHEN application LIKE '%STUFF%' THEN 'MORESTUFF' END) data
WHERE application LIKE isNull( '%MORESTUFF%', '%')

SQL Server R2 2008 needs the AS clause as follows:

SELECT *
INTO #temp
FROM ( SELECT col1, col2 FROM table1
) AS x

The query failed without the AS x at the end.

EDIT

It's also needed when using SS2016, had to add as t to the end.

 Select * into #result from (SELECT * FROM #temp where [id] = @id) as t //<-- as t

Fastest way to do this is using "SELECT INTO" command e.g.

SELECT * INTO #TempTableName
FROM....

This will create a new table, you don't have to create it in advance.

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

You can do that like this:

INSERT INTO myTable (colum1, column2)
SELECT column1, column2 FROM OtherTable;

Just make sure the columns are matching, both in number as in datatype.

Try this:

SELECT *
INTO #Temp
FROM
(select * from tblorders where busidate ='2016-11-24' and locationID=12
) as X

Please use alias with x so it will not failed the script and result.

SELECT * INTO #TempTable
FROM SampleTable
WHERE...
SELECT * FROM #TempTable
DROP TABLE #TempTable

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;

use as at end of query

Select * into #temp (select * from table1,table2) as temp_table
