Getting a Dynamically-Generated Pivot-Table into a Temp Table

Question

I\'ve seen this, so I know how to create a pivot table with a dynamically generated set of fields. My problem now is that I\'d like to get the results into a temporary table

Answer 1

Let me try this explanation of select into instead. I'm running SQL Server 2005 as well. Because you have PIVOT tables I'm going to assume the same or 2008.

select 
    o.*,
    OtherField1,
    OtherField2
INTO #temp
FROM
    OriginalOtherData as ood
PIVOT (
    MAX([Value])
    FOR Field in (OtherField1, OtherField2)
) as piv
RIGHT OUTER join
    Original o on o.OriginalSD = piv.OriginalSD

select * from #temp
Drop table #temp

The only difference between a normal select and a select into is that INTO #table part.
