I need to store a set of records temporarily and then return them to the client, this is a "success" list and a "failed" list, all from within a Stored Proc.

My question is this : which is better, have the SP create a temp table (#status), populate it and then return two recordsets (to the ASP) (select ... from #status where successful|failed) and then destroy the temp table...

Or, have one "permanent" table; populate it with success and failure, keying on @@SPID to keep it unique to the processing of that SP, returning the recordsets as above and then deleting the data at the end of the SP.

I have done both but am not sure which would be considered the "best" option; also, any other ideas?
