Temp tables are only OK in Oracle if after the work is done, you delete the tables and then coalesce the tablespace. Why not create a workspace tablespace, permanently create the intermediate tables, and then truncate them each time after the work is done. That way, the overhead of creating the table is gone, unless you are creating the tables "unrecoverable".
