Hello,

A question about index for temporary table.

Postgresql 8.0.1, in a pl/pgsql function:
begin
...
-- Part I
create temporal table t1 as ((select ... from .. left join ..... where ... ) union (select .. from ... left join ... where ... ));
create index idx_t1_cols on t1(col1, col2) tablespace ts1;

...
-- Part II
insert into tableX
(
 select ...
 from tableY
 left join t1 using (col1, col2)
 where ... ...
)
...
end;

In the above example, the index for t1 can speed up the left join query in part II (although, there is no analyze done after the creation of index), right?

The temporary table will be dropped automatically at the end of the function, right? By the way, is there anythings need to pay especially attention about temporary table under a function please?

Thanks a lot,
Ying
