When you create a table in SQLite, you can create it as a permanent table or as a temporary table.
When you create a table in a database that you’ve created, that would be a permanent table. A temporary table is created in the temp database.
To create a temporary table, you use the same syntax as creating a regular table. The difference is that you use either the TEMP or TEMPORARY keyword. You can also (or alternatively) prefix the table name with temp, which indicates that it will be created in the temporary database.
Create a Temporary Table Based on Another Table in SQL Server
In SQL Server you can create a temporary table based on another table by using the SELECT... INTO syntax.
You can create the table with or without data. In other words, you can copy data from the original table if you wish, or you can create the table without any data.

- Local temporary tables are prefixed with a single number sign (
#) - Global temporary tables are prefixed with a double number sign (
##)

How to Create a Table in Access

- Click CREATE from the Ribbon
- Click Table
