    IIRC explicit drops aren't even honored any longer...

    They are, they always have been. Drop a temp table and you can't access it any longer. Essential when testing code before...

    What do those return?

    Repeat that code for each temporary table. Or just close the connection

  • RE: TDE Enable???
