There are no guarantees they'll be created in ram, even if temp_buffer is big enough, unless the temp_tablespace is on a ramdisk. And even if they are created in ram, temporary tables DDL will more than likely need to update system tables which are stored on disk. So temporary tables will incur disk hits either way. See http://old.nabble.com/Create-and-drop-temp-table-in-8.3.4-td20347767.html for (among other things) mentions of these. -- Xavier _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-expert-framework Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openerp-expert-framework More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
