Hi
  I'm using a global (session) temporary table to break up a section of a stored procedure that is needed in
a number of places. Always for use in a select.   If the database crashes, gets rolled back, anything, I don't care about the contents of that
table. Especially -I don't want redo logs for it-. Is there any way I can accomplish this?

From what I can see so far I should look into:
- unrecoverable

• insert /*+APPEND */ into temp_table select...
• possibly using a table variable

Nologging is on by default for a tempory table but you still get some logging

Am I on the right track?
