Re: Drop only temporary table

You can use schema name as a prefix:

postgres=# \d+
                       List of relations
  Schema   | Name | Type  |  Owner   |    Size    | Description 
-----------+------+-------+----------+------------+-------------
 pg_temp_1 | t    | table | postgres | 8192 bytes | 
(1 row)

postgres=# drop table pg_temp_1.t;
DROP TABLE

But generally speaking I suggest you generate random names for
temporary tables.
