Access to temporary table several times in MySql

Question

I tried to use a temporary table as the intermediate owner of the result for the SELECT statement. The problem is that I cannot access the temp table several times in another query, which I hoped would be possible, that is, would make the temp table useless.

Is there an alternative to temporary tables in MySql that allows me to retrieve an SQL statement.

I cannot use repository procedures (I cannot access them from the version of the web frame used by the company), and I do not want to use the cursor.

Edit:

Ok, my code looks something like this:

Creating a pace table:

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE dates_with_entries (
  seq  INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  datum VARCHAR(32)
);

INSERT INTO dates_with_entries (datum) SELECT datum AS Datum from project_times
    WHERE user_id = 20 GROUP BY datum ORDER BY datum desc LIMIT 13;

Then the code in which I use my temp table looks something like this (I simplified it to the problem I have).

SELECT 
...
FROM (SELECT entrie_date AS datum FROM dates_with_entries ) AS sub_result
INNER JOIN project_times
    ON sub_result.datum = project_times.datum AND project_times.user_id = 20
LEFT JOIN works AS w ON project_times.work_id = w.id
LEFT JOIN sub_projects AS sp ON sp.id = w.sub_project_id
LEFT JOIN projects AS p ON p.id = sp.project_id
GROUP BY datum
UNION(
    SELECT
      ..
  FROM (SELECT entrie_date AS datum FROM dates_with_entries ) AS sub_result
  INNER JOIN project_times AS pt ON pt.datum = sub_result.datum
  INNER JOIN works AS w on w.id = pt.work_id
  INNER JOIN sub_projects AS sp on w.sub_project_id = sp.id
  INNER JOIN projects AS p ON sp.project_id = p.id
  WHERE pt.user_id = 20
);

ruby, SQL.

-- call this sproc from your php

call employees_hier(1);

Answer 3

For this problem, when the temporary table needs to be read only, I create the second temporary table as a copy of the first, and then use it in the query:

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE t2 as (SELECT * FROM dates_with_entries);

Then

SELECT 
...
FROM (SELECT entrie_date AS datum FROM dates_with_entries ) AS sub_result
INNER JOIN project_times
    ON sub_result.datum = project_times.datum AND project_times.user_id = 20
LEFT JOIN works AS w ON project_times.work_id = w.id
LEFT JOIN sub_projects AS sp ON sp.id = w.sub_project_id
LEFT JOIN projects AS p ON p.id = sp.project_id
GROUP BY datum
UNION(
    SELECT
      ..
  FROM (SELECT entrie_date AS datum FROM t2) AS sub_result
  INNER JOIN project_times AS pt ON pt.datum = sub_result.datum
  INNER JOIN works AS w on w.id = pt.work_id
  INNER JOIN sub_projects AS sp on w.sub_project_id = sp.id
  INNER JOIN projects AS p ON sp.project_id = p.id
  WHERE pt.user_id = 20
);
