For the regular SQL steps the table is always supposed to be emptied and could be dropped at the end of a session. V2 R2 was better but still can be very slow.

The only variation of this is if the customer are running when the database maintenance job is performed. As a result this needed to be more selective than Delete database. This is why Volatile temp tables are preferred. They should be self-managing.

MSI does have the concept of a data mart and this should be considered separately

Thanks,

Eric
