I’ve a stored procedure that does something like this:

SELECT Id
INTO #temp
FROM table
WHERE ...

DELETE FROM #temp
INNER JOIN table2 ON a=b
WHERE ...

But it’s running slowly. When I try to view the Execution Plan I can’t since the SQL Server Management Studio says “Msg 208, Level 16, State 0, Line 31 Invalid object name ‘#temp’.”

Is there any way to view the execution plan (or the execution details (not the plan)) for such script?

    SET SHOWPLAN_TEXT ON (or clicking on Display Estimated Execution Plan is SSMS) creates a plan instead of executing the SQL

    Since this creates the #temp

    SELECT Id
INTO #temp
FROM table
WHERE ...

    this will fail

    DELETE FROM #temp
INNER JOIN table2 ON a=b
WHERE ...

    So solution is to add this to the top (or do the equivalent via SSMS)

    SET SHOWPLAN_TEXT OFF
GO

SET STATISTICS PROFILE ON
GO
