Perhaps creating a temporary table would be more efficient.
Then the rollback isn't necessary.

you can use the transition.
eg:
begin;
creat table(...);
catch error if the statement not validated.
rollback;jov

However this only worked with a SELECT statement. When i tried to create a TABLE it would not run.I do not wish to install external packages. Preferably use only default present features.Any suggestions are welcome.Best,Peter
