My problem, that so far no one has been able to answer, is that I'm using
connection pooling with the Tomcat server.
TransactionA gets connection A from the pool. TransactionA creates a temporary table for some query. TransactionA is done, and returns the connection to the pool. TransactionB gets a connection from the pool, which just so happens to be connection A. TransactionB tries to create a temporary table with the same name as the one that already exists. ** BANG!! **
Yes, you're right -- as long as the container-managed connection is open, the original TEMPORARY table will persist across the sessions of different individuals.
I just ran into this issue myself, and so far I've thought of
1) creating a *unique* temporary table using the SESSIONID, in a separate DB where the tomcat 'user' has DROP privileges, and use a method implementing HttpSessionBindingListener to drop that table when the session terminates;
2) just keeping the original ResultSet in memory and manipulating it there...
Neither quite as graceful as using a real temporary table, so I'm also open to other suggestions :-)
