How to add a temp table in SQL server - sql

Question

I am trying to add a temp table to my query so that I can query that temp table, I have searched the internet but I couldn't get a solution.
this is my query
;WITH cte AS (
SELECT ID, g.Name
FROM game.Game g WITH(NOLOCK
WHERE ID IN (SELECT Data FROM system.Split(1, ','))
UNION ALL
SELECT g.ID, g.Name
FROM game.Game g WITH(NOLOCK)
JOIN cte ON g.ParentID = cte.ID
)
SELECT c.ID,
c.Name
FROM cte c
INNER JOIN list.Type gt WITH(NOLOCK) ON c.TypeId = gt.TypeID
WHERE c.ID NOT IN (SELECT Data FROM system.Split(1, ','))
AND c.ID IN (SELECT ID FROM game.code WITH(NOLOCK)
WHERE ID = c.ID
AND StatusCode IN ('OP', 'CL', 'SU')
AND isDisplay = 'True'
AND GETDATE() BETWEEN DisplayStart AND DisplayEnd
AND GETDATE() < ISNULL(ResultDateTime, ResultExpected)
)
which gives me the following when I run it
ID | Name
1111 | BaseBall
2222 |BasketBall
45896 |Relay
now I tried to create a temp table as follows
Create Table #temp(
ID int,
Name varchar
)
;WITH cte AS (
SELECT ID, g.Name
FROM game.Game g WITH(NOLOCK)
WHERE ID IN (SELECT Data FROM system.Split(1, ','))
UNION ALL
SELECT g.ID, g.Name
FROM game.Game g WITH(NOLOCK)
JOIN cte ON g.ParentID = cte.ID
)
insert into #temp // i wanted to set these values in the temp table
SELECT c.ID,
c.Name
FROM cte c
INNER JOIN list.Type gt WITH(NOLOCK) ON c.TypeId = gt.TypeID
WHERE c.ID NOT IN (SELECT Data FROM system.Split(1, ','))
AND c.ID IN (SELECT ID FROM game.code WITH(NOLOCK)
WHERE ID = c.ID
AND StatusCode IN ('OP', 'CL', 'SU')
AND isDisplay = 'True'
AND GETDATE() BETWEEN DisplayStart AND DisplayEnd
AND GETDATE() < ISNULL(ResultDateTime, ResultExpected)
)
every time I try to store this information in the temp table it gives me an error 'Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.' But I only have two values in. What am I doing wrong that I cant see?

Answer 1

First, why not just use select into?
IF OBJECT_ID('TempDB..#temp') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP TABLE #temp
END
select c.ID, c.Name
into #temp
from . . .
Then you don't need to define #temp as a table.
Next, your definition is bad, because Name has only one character. This would be fixed with select into.
However, I don't know why you are getting the particular error you are getting. The numbers of columns appears to match.
