Inserting the results set of SQL Dynamic Pivot Query into Temporary Table

Question

How can I insert into global temporary table the results of the dynamic t-sql query in which columns is not fixed. See below for the table definition, value insertion and the t-sql for pivot query.

/****** Object:  Table [dbo].[ProdOrders]    Script Date: 30/8/2017 7:24:35 PM ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ProdOrders](
    [ItemCode] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
    [ReleasedDate] [date] NULL,
    [PlanQty] [float] NULL,
    [ActualQty] [float] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

GO

INSERT INTO [dbo].[ProdOrders]
           ([ItemCode]
           ,[ReleasedDate]
           ,[PlanQty]
           ,[ActualQty])

Exec(@SQL);

I need to insert the results sets to global temporary table so that I can use it to refer with another query.

Answer 1

The script below creates dynamically a global temp table. This script does not have a check to see if the table allready exists, you have to add that yourself. Be carefull with using global temp tables. I think there are better alternatives to what you want.

    --Script for creating global temp table
    Declare @CreateTempTable [nvarchar](max) = '
    CREATE TABLE ##t ([ItemCode] nvarchar(50),' +
    stuff((Select distinct ',' + QuoteName(convert(varchar(6), ReleasedDate,112)+'-Plan') + ' float,' + QuoteName(convert(varchar(6),ReleasedDate,112)+'-Actual')  + '  float'
    From [dbo].[ProdOrders]
    Order By 1 For XML Path('')),1,1, '') + ')'

    Exec sp_executesql @CreateTempTable

    --Script for insert
    Declare @InsertSql [nvarchar](max) = '
    INSERT INTO ##t ([ItemCode], ' +
    stuff((Select distinct ','+QuoteName(convert(varchar(6), ReleasedDate,112)+'-Plan') + ', ' + QuoteName(convert(varchar(6),ReleasedDate,112)+'-Actual')  + ' '
    From [dbo].[ProdOrders]
    Order By 1 For XML Path('')),1,1, '') + ')'

    Declare @SQL varchar(max) = @InsertSql + '
    Select *
     From (
            Select A.ItemCode
                  ,B.*
             From  [dbo].[ProdOrders] A
             Cross Apply ( values ( convert(varchar(6),ReleasedDate,112)+''-Plan'',PlanQty)
                                 ,( convert(varchar(6),ReleasedDate,112)+''-Actual'',ActualQty)
                         ) B (Item,Value)
          ) S
     Pivot (sum([Value]) For [Item] in (' + Stuff((Select Distinct ','+QuoteName(convert(varchar(6),ReleasedDate,112)+'-Plan') 
                                                                  +','+QuoteName(convert(varchar(6),ReleasedDate,112)+'-Actual') 
                                                   From [dbo].[ProdOrders]
                                                   Order By 1 
                                                   For XML Path('')),1,1,'')  + ') ) p'
    Exec(@SQL);

    Select * From ##t

Answer 2

Add into clause in your select statement and try

Declare @SQL varchar(max) = '
Select *
into ##globaltemptable
From ( ...
