Hi :
Are the indices of a temporary table automatically
dropped together its corresponding temporary table
after a database session?

I'm kind of surprised that it's possible to index a temporary table.
There's not much point in doing so.
Yes, the indexes would be dropped as well.
Sure there is! There are queries that benefit from having a temporary table created
for a subquery and the temporary table indexed before the join. Since we can't easily
return result sets from functions yet, it's not probably used that much, but from
within a function, I can see why you

Why not? You seem to be equating temporary with small, but I don't
see why that must be so.

Nah. I'm equating temporary with query twice and throw away, which
isn't
