Huh! :) Seems so obvious now :)

Is there a way to assing variable a value returned from query that
accesses the temporary table in a way you explained above?

For instance, I can do:

myValue := col2 FROM tmpTbl WHERE someValue = somethingElse...

But then I encounter the problem with temp tables. Can I do EXECUTE'd
SELECT like you explained above? Or I need to do 'widdleing' with FOR
like explained above?
