Are FreeBSD's temp tables still storage-backed? (i.e. are there
memory-backed temp tables)?
Sorry, I'm not sure what you are asking. Not sure what this has to do
with FreeBSD, or its temp tables.
Unless: s/freebsd/postgres/i
Ah, yes, Postgres temp tables still make it to disk eventually. They
are not WAL logged (but if they get really big they spill to disk).
There are no memory only tables, no. But PG will cache the heck out of
all tables, so you get the best of both worlds.
