Hi Kim, You can create a temporary table by using a table alias. The temporary table will only be accessable by the current connection. Any other connection will not be able to use it.
If you want to make a table which can be used by several connections (f.e for a join) you could create a HEAP table which remains completely in the memory, but all data goes when the server crashes or powered off, the structure remains.
