Tables created with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE disappear when the current connection closes. They also are visible only within the connection that created them. So: - If you create the table from one page using a non-persistent connection, the connection will close when the script ends and the table will disappear and be unavailable to other pages. - If you create the table from one page using a persistent connection, the connection will not *necessarily* close when the script ends. However, there is no guarantee that a following page will get that same connection, in which case the table will not be visible even if it happens to still exist. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
