Hi, I have been going around telling everyone that there is no point using physical tables in postgres for temporary storage within a procedure. Why bother bothering the system with something which is only used in one procedure I said to myself... I have just learnt that with MS Sql Server, this is not the case, and that there are locks on some system table and temp tables eat up memory and lots of other unfortunate things. Can someone give me a 101 on temp table considerations? Or rather give me "the good link"? Cheers Anton
