It was great to have this kind of knowledge. However, I got confused with the following question-answer. I do not know whether you made a typo in the question. Even if you made a typo, I am not satisfied with the answer of the question about the temp tables. Please let all know about the real answer. Thanks. Pratap. What is the difference between a local and a global variable? A local temporary table exists only for the duration of a connection or, if defined inside a compound statement, for the duration of the compound statement. A global temporary table remains in the database permanently, but the rows exist only within a given connection. When connection are closed, the data in the global temporary table disappears. However, the table definition remains with the database for access when database is opened next time. I read all the question-answers. It was great to have this kind of knowledge.

I have SQL server 2000 with SQL Authentication. Can I test user's login and IP when he is connecting to the server. Our network doesn't use Domain. Maybe you know some intresting links where I'll find the answer. All what I want is just - "User can logging only from his computer". Thanks Hello Pinal.

Since it trows error for print, tried inserting to a table declared within the function. I think the scope of the table that is used to create logs ends when the functions stops. Would you have any idea what we could do to print the logs? Hi Pinal ,
