Hello everybody,

Since I am new to PostgreSQL mailing lists, I am not sure which mailing list to 
use for my problem, I issue it to this group. If there is a more appropriate 
list, please let me know and  I will happily post there.

The situation:
While porting an existing application from Sybase ASA to PostgreSQL 7.4 I need 
to access connection specific login data (user data). In the Sybase solution I 
used a temporary table (CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE). Each connection than had the 
table on connect; each client could then perform the INSERT statement without 
creating table. PostgreSQL differs from the behaviour as documented. 
A lot of (very) different clients rely upon this this standard behaviour.

The question:
Is there any feature/technique that
a) can create temporary tables as in the SQL Standard defined
b) something like "ON CONNECT DO BEGIN .... END"? So that the temporary table 
can be automatically created upon connect?


Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,

Ralf
