Re: Temporarirly storing web form data to be inserted into Databas

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thank you for the replies.
I understand that the data can be stored in Session variables or temporary
tables.

However, say if i have more then 6 forms in which the user enters the data
one by one and after entering the data on last form he saves it. At this
point in time i am saving the data in the database through a transaction.

So, now the question arises is it advisable to create so many temporary
tables or Session variables for each form before the transaction takes place.

The most important point is the user cannot afford to lose data between forms.
Please Help.
