Huh! :) Seems so obvious now :) Is there a way to assing variable a value returned from query that accesses the temporary table in a way you explained above? For instance, I can do: myValue := col2 FROM tmpTbl WHERE someValue = somethingElse... But then I encounter the problem with temp tables. Can I do EXECUTE'd SELECT like you explained above? Or I need to do 'widdleing' with FOR like explained above?
