There is no system catalogue that will tell you that a session
temporary table exists.

Ingres provides only SQL Type 1 temporary tables, and they are are
supposed to be *really* light-weight. The cost of maintaining any
catalogue information would noticeably affect performance. Most people
either drop the table on spec and trap and ignore any resulting error,
or they do an experimental select from the table they think might
exist a trap the error.

The SQL standard defines two other kinds of temporary table
that do have catalogue entries, but Ingres doesn't (presently)
implement those types.
