  • RE: Create temporary table from output of dynamic SQL

    You can create a non-temp table in tempdb.

    CREATE TABLE tempdb.dbo.table_name ( ... )

    That table will go away only when you explicitly drop it.

    Change the UNION ALL to just UNION. But the only way you'd have dups is if parent1 and parent2 both contained the same data.
