Generally speaking, for combining a lot of data is it better to use a temp table/temp variable as a staging area or should I just stick to "UNION ALL"?
Assumptions:
- No further processing is needed, the results are sent directly to the client.
 - The client waits for the complete recordset, so streaming results isn't necessary.
