FWIW, Microsoft SQL Server does it that way, and as a result temporary tables are severely restricted in a number of ways. For example, custom datatypes defined in a non-temporary database cannot be used in temporary table definitions, because datatypes may only be used within the database they're defined in. You can of course re-define the data type in the temporary database, but then obviously have to do so every time you start new session because you start out with an empty tempdb. best regards, Florian Pflug -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
