Hi all,
I think the title says everything:-)
I just what a way to create a TEMP for the current transaction only.
If possible I don't want to create the TEMP table first, specify all
column types, etc.
CREATE TEMP TABLE _T_CR1 AS
SELECT CRNUM, CRYPNUM, CRMONT, CRDATE, GLNUM, CRRRNUM, CRACNUM, GLDESC
FROM CR INNER JOIN CS ON CR.CRNUM = CS.CSCRNUM AND CR.CRYPNUM =
CS.CSYPNUM INNER JOIN GL ON CS.CSGLNUM = GL.GLNUM AND 1 = GL.GLSOCTRL
WHERE CRYPNUM = companyId
AND DATEDIFF(DY, CRDATE, GETDATE()) >= _AGELIMITE
ON COMMIT DROP;
I am missing something here. What is wrong with the above statement?
You're missing:
cww=# BEGIN;
BEGIN
cww=# CREATE TEMP TABLE foo AS (SELECT 1 AS a, 2 AS b) ON COMMIT DROP;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "ON" at character 50
LINE 1: CREATE TEMP TABLE foo AS (SELECT 1 AS a, 2 AS b) ON COMMIT D...
^
Try CREATE TEMP TABLE foo ON COMMIT DROP AS (SELECT 1 AS a, 2 AS b) ;
I don't know what version the OP is using, but that doesn't work on 8.1:
cww=# CREATE TEMP TABLE foo ON COMMIT DROP AS (SELECT 1 AS a, 2 AS b);
ERROR: syntax error at or near "ON" at character 23
LINE 1: CREATE TEMP TABLE foo ON COMMIT DROP AS (SELECT 1 AS a, 2 AS...
^
I'm jumping in here because temporary ON COMMIT DROP tables created with
AS (SELECT ...) would be handy for me, too. :)
