even though the data is session-specific, keep in mind that their may not be
a persistent session for the users in your web application -- for instance,
the PL/SQL webtoolkit automatically does a commit after executing the
procedure called via the URL -- so that would delete the rows in the temp
table, and even if it didn't, they user would never return to the same
session again to be able to retrieve the temp table contents
what is you web app architecture? if you aren't using a tool that has
dedicated persistent connections, oracle's temporary tables aren't going to
help.
