I'm not a DBA so there's probably a much more elegant way than this, but maybe you could try:

1. Declare variables for each of the values you want:

declare @AirTempHi varchar(50)
declare @AirTempHiDate datetime
declare @AirTempLo varchar(50)
declare @AirTempLoDate datetime

etc

2. Include all the columns in the temporary table:

create table #AllEmployees
(
AirTempHi varchar(50),
AirTempHiDate datetime,
AirTempLo varchar(50),
AirTempLoDate datetime ... and so on
)

3. Get the values for each variable:

SELECT TOP 1 @AirTempHi = AirTemp, @AirTempHiDate = importTime FROM WxSTNData
ORDER BY AirTemp DESC

etc

4. Once you've got all the values then do one insert into the temporary table:

INSERT INTO [dbo].[#tempRecords]
(AirTempHi, AirTempHiDate, AirTempLo, AirTempLoDate)
values(@AirTempHi, @AirTempHiDate, @AirTempLo, @AirTempLoDate)

etc

5. Then do one select on the final temp table contents, as in your version.

I'm not certain of all the syntax, but it's something like that anyway.

This is a home project (not work related) that is driving me nuts!!

I am trying to select all my all time weather records from my database so that I can display them on a “all time weather records page”..

I can grab all my weather all time records from my database via simple multiple select statements and then insert these into a table – but they end up as

9.8 2007-01-27 13:26:00
8.7 2007-01-27 14:53:00
17 2007-01-27 13:51:00
1031.3 2007-01-27 13:23:00
1031.0 2007-01-27 14:01:00
10.0 2007-01-27 13:23:00
7.2 2007-01-27 13:51:00
0.0 2007-01-27 13:23:00
421 2007-01-27 13:25:00

What I really want is the records returned on a single row I.E.

AirTempHi, AirTempHiDate, AirTempLo, AirTempLoDate etc..

Can anyone point me in the right direction? – Here is my storedProc ..

set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
