OK, thank you for the link on ancient ceramic toilets 😛 But anyway, you are asking why don't I just put it in a regular table? Correct? The answer is space. I have used temp tables, where I can put on index on the table and run queries from there, which is fine for ad hoc queries. But I'm looking for something to use in reporting services. I played around with a stored proc to generate temp tables, but I wanted to throw out the issue to the forums to see if there were any ideas people had.
