We've rejected session variables many times before because they duplicate temporary tables. I don't see anything new added by this proposal. > But I can imagine people doing something like this: This is how temporary tables would operate if they followed the SQL standard. (That is, the temporary table structure is persistent but the contents are deleted at the end of the session. See compatibility section of CREATE TABLE reference page.) Perhaps implementing that would satisfy your needs. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
