In SSMS I see 7 temporary tables, all with names like dbo.#0876219E. When I end my connection and come back in, they are still there.
I’m not able to query them or get properties on them. I get errors.
How do I find their source, purpose and what they contain?
Is there a particular system sp that gives info on temp tables — haven’t been able to immediately find one.
Temp tables with such names (#, then 8 hex digits) are the temp tables that back table variables –
declare @boris table (...)They’ll exist as long as the batch that introduced them continues to run. On my lightly loaded dev server, I can see ~30 of them, so I’m guessing there are some which are used/created by SQL Server itself – or possibly by SSMS.
