How to create a temporary table and use it in the same connection with Entity Framework?

Question

I am trying to execute a three raw queries with Entity Framework.

The first query will basically create a temporary table. The second query will add an index on the temporary table. Finally, the second query will join to the temporary table to other table to get a final dataset.

But every time I run my code, get the following error

invalid #allRecords object.

Here is what I have done

using (BaseContextdb = new BaseContext())
{
    using (var dbContextTransaction = db.Database.BeginTransaction())
    {
        try
        {
            db.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("SELECT col1, col2, col3 " +
                                          "INTO #allRecords " +
                                          "FROM someTable " +
                                          "WHERE col5 = 'blab' " +
                                          "CREATE INDEX d ON #allRecords(col1, col2); ");

            var results = db.Database.SqlQuery<ResuleModel>(this.GetQuery()).ToList();

            db.SaveChanges();

            dbContextTransaction.Commit();
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            dbContextTransaction.Rollback();
        }
    }
}

how can I correctly create temporary table with Entity Framework?

UPDATED

Here is the query that is returned by this.GetQuery()

SELECT b.*, c.* 
FROM b
INNER JOIN #allRecords AS a ON a.col1 = v.col1 AND a.col2 = b.col2
INNER JOIN c ON c.Id= b.Id
...
...
...

Entity Framework doesn't work well with temporary tables.

Instead, you might want to look at Dapper. It is much cleaner; besides, you can use EF and Dapper in same project side-by-side. For example,

using (IDbConnection conn = new SqlConnection(DataBaseConnectionString))
{
   conn.Open();

   // If you want transaction, place it inside the query. 
   var entities = conn.Query<ResuleModel>(@"SELECT col1, col2, col3 ...");

   result = entities.ToList();
}

FYI: Make sure you execute the query in SSMS before using it in Dapper.
