Hello Folks:

Can I create a temporary table in SQL server which keep data for entire session (user logon to user logoff) and we can query from the triggers, procedures, functions to get the session specific data?

Thanks
Robin

Yes. As long as the connection that created the table isn't closed, the temp table will persist (unless you drop it of course).

You'll have to provide more information on what exactly you're looking for. You can query session-related data using the SESSIONPROPERTY function, anything else you'll have to provide an example.

Thanks for the reply.
I will explain my requirement. In my application, I need to get the user name who is logged on to the system. But this user is only an application user ( not a database user; all users are connecting to DB using a common database userid). I have created a temp table (#tempuserid) through a procedure in the app logon event and try to get the value from the temp table in another event (for example: inside a trigger before inserting/updating data) in same session, but it failed. Please help.

Thanks, Robin
