Persisting Virtual Data in Temporary Tables

Persisting Virtual Data in Temporary Tables

A temporary table is a table in a relational database that stores intermediate, temporary data. Complex queries commonly require storage for large amounts of intermediate data, such as information from joins. When you implement temporary tables, business intelligence tools can retrieve this data from the temporary table instead of the SQL data service. This results in an increase in performance.
Temporary tables also provide increased security in two ways. First, only the user of the active session can access the tables. Also, the tables persist while a session is active, and the database drops the tables when the connection closes.
You must configure the Table Storage Connection property of the Data Integration Service before the database administrator creates a temporary table.
Temporary tables for all SQL data services in a Data Integration Service use the same relational database connection. When the connection to the SQL data service is active, you can connect to the SQL data service through a JDBC or ODBC client. The relational database drops temporary tables when the session ends. If the Data Integration Service unexpectedly shuts down, the relational database drops temporary tables on the next Data Integration Service startup.
