I am sorry for further confusion. I am not creating tables a few hundred times per minute. I simply used a create table call to get some trace output for my sample script. Thinking that users may try the sample script, there was a no way for me to know what tables might exist (that I could select from). So I used a CREATE TABLE. Writing to memory, if done right, shouldn't be a big deal. Having the disk seek that often would flood my IO.

I don't get it.... You don't mind trying to create tables a few hundred times per minute, but creating a file is too much overhead? And writing to memory is going to really bog the system. Maybe you shouldn't be asking "why doesn't my capture work", but "how can I debug some production code I have"... Just a thought, Rob -- When I used a Mac, they laughed because I had no command prompt. When I used Linux, they laughed because I had no GUI.
