Not necessarily - it may be useful for an admin to peek at what tables are created by other sessions. I don't feel strongly about that though, moreso b). > The SQL Standard Information Schema does show LOCAL TEMPORARY and GLOBAL > TEMPORARY tables. Our implementation of temp tables differs from the > standard, so I think (b) is fully in line with that. My point is that any good admin tool will use pg_class directly, as information_schema doesn't include any of the Postgres specifc info that such a tool would want. FYI, pgAdmin doesn't do anything with temp tables at the moment anyway - I'm thinking of other apps that may do. An inheritance schema for pg_class may well work for them. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
