Thank you very much, Peter! No matter how many times someone discusses table variables vs. temp tables, it seems as though there are some more wrinkles to explore.

Two things you might want to address (only the first one is really germane to the topic):

1) Talk about indexing. With a temp table, you can add any kind of index you want. With a table variable, you are limited to the index on the PK that you declare for the table.

2) In IE 6, the "Appendix" HTML table is not shown completely unless the browser window is enlarged to something in excess of about 1280 pixels.
