Hi all. I am trying to create a view using the three queries below and I get the error message Views or functions are not allowed on temporary tables. Is there a way to do that or is there a way to combine the three queries below so I don't have to use a temp table so I create a view?
Thanks!

You could use CTEs instead of the temporary tables. However, you should check for any possible performance issues.

This is great!!! Thanks!!! I just tried to run this and yes, it takes a long time. If I wanted to turn this into a stored procedure how would I go that? I also need to use a user defined function so pulling from the queries below where CLT_NBR in (select clt_nbr from ufn_WFR_Enrolled_Clients_List ('2012-07-01', '2013-06-30')) Can one apply a unset defined function to a stored procedure?

You would just add something along these lines at the start of the altered code you've been given:

CREATE PROC procName

@from_dt DATETIME,

@to_dt DATETIME

AS

Yes, you can refer to a UDF within a Stored Procedure.

If you're interested in improving the performance of the view, post up an Actual (not Estimated) execution plan (as a .sqlplan file) of a simple select from it.

You have a few UDF's in there. If you are prepared to invest a little more time, folks here could show you how to replace a UDF with an iTVF (inline table-valued function). They often work very much faster.

Be careful with the UDF. An in-line UDF is fine, but a multi-statement table valued UDF could lead to serious performance bottlenecks.

Hi great. Let me work on that today and I will get back to you. Creating the view takes way too long. I appreciate your help.
