    <p>I'm pretty certain EF doesn't have temp tables support - at least out of the box - but it's constantly changing. </p> <p>Your best bet is to do something like this... </p> <pre><code>dbcontext.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("...") </code></pre> <p>...and I'm guessing there you could run an arbitrary SQL (I know most things can be passed in but I'm not sure about the limitations, but you could run a SP, create indexes etc.) - to set up a temp table. </p> <p>Then the next step would be to do the opposite side something like this.. </p> <pre><code>dbcontext.MyTable.SqlQuery("...").ToList() </code></pre> <p>...to map back the sql results into some entity of yours - or for a non-mapped entity to string or something. (<code>dbcontext.MyTable.SqlQuery&lt;T&gt;("...").ToList()</code>) </p> <p>The question is how to do it exactly - not sure of your specifics really. But you could create a temp table before hand and have it mapped - and use it for temp purposes. </p> <p>Basically, that's a DBA thinking - but EF is not perfect for such things (see something similar here <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5052053/recommed-usage-of-temp-table-or-table-variable-in-entity-framework-4-update-per">Recommed usage of temp table or table variable in Entity Framework 4. Update Performance Entity framework</a>) but you might be ok with a custom ran queries like the above. </p> <p>hope it helps </p> <p>EDIT: this might also help <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/adodotnetentityframework/thread/31223561-ad8a-42f2-8c56-e9c756fa120c" rel="nofollow noreferrer">from EF forums</a> but it's more involving. </p>

    1. COThanks NSGaga! The main problem is about the other column names... but I think I'll end up by creating some sort of mapping myself... thanks!

    2. COadded one more link - for a larger Db I had year ago I had to use custom ORM to get what I needed - but EF is in much better shape now, more stable, tested etc.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
