Need for temp table!!

A temp-table is a private (to the session) table which is not stored in the database. It otherwise acts much like a db table. (Progress initially stores temp-table records in memory until the -Bt cache is full, then starts writing temp-tables records to disk.)

A temp-table can be declared LIKE a db table or it can be declared as being completely different from an db table.

They have lots of uses. You basically use them for all the same purposes that you would use a db table for except that they are private and not persisted.

A buffer is just another way to address a table -- either a db table or temp-table. Buffers are hand when you need to have multiple "pointers" to records in a particular table.

There are many training classes which would cover this, and many other topics quite thoroughly.
