Hi I have written a program that imputes(or rather corrects data) with in my database. Iam using a temporary table where in i put data from other partitoined table. I then query this table to get the desired data.But the thing is this temporary table has to be craeted for every record that i need to correct and there are thousands of such records that need to be corrected. So the program necessarily creates a temporary table evrytime it has to correct a record. However this table is dropeed after each record is corrected. The program works fine.....but it runs for a very long time....or it runs for days. Iam particularyly finding that it takes more time during this statement:
NOTICE: theQuery in createtablevolumelaneshist CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE predictiontable(lane_id, measurement_start, speed,volume,occupancy) AS SELECT lane_id, measurement_start, speed,volume,occupancy FROM samantha.lane_data_I_495 WHERE lane_id IN (1317) AND measurement_start BETWEEN '2007-11-18 09:25:00' AND 2007-11-19 01:39:06' Iam not sure if i can use a cursor to replicate the functionality of the temp table. Is the performance bad because of the creation and deletion of the temp table?
