I like your blog. I follow it all the time. Interestingly, whenever I go ahead with my problems with SQL Server in Google, there is atleast one Pinal Dave link on the first page all the time.

My folks at office have also observed the same. Keep up the good work.

Your explanations and examples are simple to understand. That is the USP of this blog.

Is this MS jargon or where did ‘interim table’ come from? From a ‘set’ approach (which is an appropriate way to think about queries), I see that this makes sense, but obviously from an execution perspective maybe it would be misleading to think of these as interim tables–i.e. these joins can and will be re-ordered, and processed in a stream (or spooled)…so the notion of ‘tables’ really has no relevance (with the exception of spools).

But I liked the succinctness of the post-

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Pinal,

This is very very nice article about interim tables, you explained it very nicely.

May be my question is not valid but, I am just wondering how they are helpful other than they are required to get final result/table?

Thanks

Nice Article.
It was presented really well and was easy to understand.

Just a quick question, are sub-queries and tmep tables too classified as interim tables?

Keep up the good work.
