Is there anyway to create a temporary table that will only exist in RAM
and not be written to the hard drive? Or do temporary tables already do
that?
That is what temp tables do... but you should only use them for
throwaway data :)

If I can use a temporary table this way is there any simple way to merge
the changes back into the original table?
