Re: GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE in Oracle 9.2.0.4

Tables are not removed. Data is. That is why this type of tables is called "global". Rumor is that a company from Redmond, WA will buy Oracle, rename it to SQL Server and then the temporary tables will disappear at the end of session. Then we'll have one database to rule them all, one database to find them, and in the SQL Server bind them in the state of WA where.... I forgot the rest. Morals of the story is that the temporary table from oracle is not the same thing as the temporary table from the Microshit SQL Server. Cursor is the same thing as the MS temporary table. To be consistent with Jared's opinion about me, I have one more thing to add: RTFM. If I mispronounced a word or two, it's because I'm a foreigner.
