temporary tables are handled pretty much like the regular table. The magic happens on schema level, new schema is setup for connection, so that it can access its own temporary tables. Temporary tables also are not autovacuumed. And that's pretty much the most of the differences. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
