• Is it good practice to use temp tables in a view...

    Quick Answer: You can't. Views are single statement activities.

    You can use cte's to help keep code readable. You can subselect to the end of the earth. But you can't do multi-part statements.

    If the question is regarding a global temp table (##tmp)... don't do it. More headaches then it'll ever be worth to you.
