create procedure proc1 (@a int) as begin if @a=1 create table #temp(a1 int) else ..

Answer / saravanan p

Since the stored procedure precompiled, we cannot give same
table name in both the If and else part.

It will work if give some other name in else part.

Answer / soorai ganesh

Problem in #temp table. Because it comes twice in SP.
(U can say it is in else part. But compiler will not accept
this.First it will compile everthing then running the SP. )

Its better to keep another name for Else part table.......

create procedure proc1 (@a int) as begin if @a=1 create table #temp(a1 int) else ..

Answer / lee

yep problem is with the compiler.. I had to think of
another way to solve the problem, eg, I created the #temp
without the IF statement and then used an IF ELSE statement
to modify or update #temp, make sense?

create procedure proc1 (@a int) as begin if @a=1 create table #temp(a1 int) else ..

Answer / murthy

The #Temp table created in this stores procedure exists in
memory as long as the Particular session is closed. Hence
drop the table at the end of the procedure.

Note: In case if you exec the SP using Management studio,
close the connection and re-open it, it will work without
modifying anything.

create procedure proc1 (@a int) as begin if @a=1 create table #temp(a1 int) else ..

Answer / david

it indicates that some one had already executed the stored
proc but forgotten to delete the temp table they have
created.

normally before closing that particular transaction within
the SP we need to use drop table statement.

Answer / gaurav

Because temp is being used by database internally so that it
is same as a system table so this table can't create by user...
