If I create a temporary heap table from a select statement, does the new 
table also inherit the indexes (indices?) from the original table.  Or will 
I have to add an index to the temporary table after it is created?

For example,  if I use:

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tempstudents TYPE=HEAP SELECT studentid, 
studentlastname FROM students;

assuming that studentid and studentlastname have indexes on them.

Will I then have to add indexes to these two fields in the temporary table?

Thanks,
Craig
