Business value

Until now, it has not been easy for developers to tell if a variable or reference (such as a source table) is temporary or not. To improve code readability, understand behavior, and prevent performance problems due to confusing temporary tables with normal tables, there is now a new indicator on temporary tables in IntelliSense.

Feature details

IntelliSense, tooltips, and CodeLens now display a new "temporary" suffix after the table name to indicate that the table is a temporary table. This improves readability of code when using temporary tables.

The following example illustrates that the "AAD Application" record variable is temporary.
