Thanks. Maybe my thinking in regards to the usefulness of temporary
tables needs to be adjusted. I had been formulating a plan to make use of
a temporary table that would be created at run time under certain
conditions depending on selections made by the end-user of a database
application.
To follow-up then, if the temp schemas do not disappear, then over time
what happens (as temp tables are instantiated during normal application
usage), does the database end up with an ever-increasing number of these
temp schemas? It would seem to me that that is not a good thing to have
happening on a permanent, continuing basis.
