Hi sql expert,
if I have five different temp tables, is that other way to handle temp tables if I stop the query in between the execution? Below are basic sample of my temp tables:

SELECT A
INTO #TmpTbl1
FROM A table

SELECT A
INTO #TmpTbl1
FROM A table

SELECT B
INTO #TmpTbl2
FROM B table

SELECT C
INTO #TmpTbl3
FROM C table

SELECT D
INTO #TmpTbl4
FROM D table

SELECT *
FROM A Table
JOIN B Table
ON B = A
JOIN C Table
ON C = A
JOIN D Table
ON D = A

Drop table #TmpTbl1
Drop table #TmpTbl2
Drop table #TmpTbl3
Drop table #TmpTbl4

If I stop the execution in between, I have to highlight each Drop table #TmpTbl1 and #TmpTbl2 and #TmpTbl3 or #TmpTbl4 to re run the query. What is the better way to handle (create temp table) this so I don't have to execute each Drop Table #TmpTbl if I stop the query execution and re run it again?

Thank you all

[code]
IF OBJECT_ID('tempDB.dbo.#TmpTbl1') IS NULL
BEGIN
SELECT A
INTO #TmpTbl1
FROM A table
END
[/code]
