Yes, and you can't, because the object is not actually dropped until end of transaction. I'd suggest rethinking your temp table use: that design is going to bloat the system catalogs enormously, even if you weren't running out of lock space. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
