Hi,

When will postgresql offer "global" temporary tables with data which are shared among sessions? Such tables are great for transient data such as web session data where writing to the WAL is a waste. (On DB startup, the tables would simply be empty.) We're currently stuck with the memcached plugin which makes it impossible to use database constructs such as foreign keys against the temporary data.


If using 8.3 you can SET LOCAL synchronous_commit TO off; for web session management transactions, it'll skip the WAL fsync'ing, which is already a good start.

That's pretty close, but it's not table specific and wouldn't let us to reliably mix transient data changes with real data changes.

Cheers,
