    The second query should work as written in T-SQL. Are you getting an error message from it, or just assuming it needs to be rewritten?

  • RE: Can't we create #temp tables in functions?

    Table variables definitely work. Just not temp tables (or "real" tables, of course).

  • RE: Can't we create #temp tables in functions?

    Functions can't create objects or modify data. You can use table variables in them, if they are either multi-value or scalar, but not table functions.
