For precisely the reason stated upthread. That would mean creating and deleting catalog entries for every transaction. Imagine a busy OLTP system running hundreds of transactions per second trying to use a temporary table for intermediate results. Mixing DDL and DML is just as bad an idea behind the scenes as it is for users. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
