It doesn't work with select into though:
config=> select 5 into temp v_tmp ;
Any idea why the table can't be seen with \d in psql then?

When using the attached script in psql, the temp variables disappear as
far as \distv shows, but running the script a second time fails.
To reproduce, save the following script as bug.sql, then start psql on an
test database.
\i bug.sql
\distv
-- no relations should be shown
\i bug.sql
-- this
Forgot to mention that adding
DROP TABLE v_idx ;
before the END WORK will fix things. However, I was under the impression that
temporary tables would go away after a transaction in which they were created
was committed.
