Hello,
I have created a temporary table using
create temporary table foo
(
id integer
);
and noticed this was created in a schema called "pg_temp_2"
My question is:
is this always "pg_temp_2"?
Or will the name of the "temp schema" change?
If it isn't always the same, is there a way I can retrieve the schema name for temporary tables?
Regards
Thomas
You can use:
SELECT nspname
FROM pg_namespace
WHERE oid = pg_my_temp_schema();
to get the name of the current temporary schema for your session.
And it's always pg_temp_[nnn] as far as I'm aware, with a corresponding pg_toast_temp_[nnn] schema.
