[GENERAL] how does a temp table work?
I read the docs but I'm still not sure. If I create a temp table with ON COMMIT DROP then is that table private to the transaction? In other words, if the temp table is created in plpgsql stored procedure foo and foo is executed from different transactions in parallel then each transaction will see its own private temp table, right? -- Make April 15 just another day, visit http://fairtax.org ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend

I know the docs say that the standards implies needing modules, but shared definition is really handy. We use regularly such GLOBAL TEMP tables without modules. -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day.
