If specified, the table is created as a temporary table.
Temporary tables are automatically dropped at the end of a
session, or optionally at the end of the current transaction
- (see <literal>ON COMMIT</literal> below). Existing permanent
- tables with the same name are not visible to the current session
+ (see <literal>ON COMMIT</literal> below). The default
+ search_path includes the temporary schema first and so identically
+ named existing permanent tables are not chosen for new plans
while the temporary table exists, unless they are referenced
with schema-qualified names. Any indexes created on a temporary
table are automatically temporary as well.
