Greetings All, I was hoping that someone might be to help me out. I was wondering if Oracle has a table data type like SQL server. This is just a variable that lives completely in memory and has many of the characteristics of a table. I need to be able to store a list of values in a table like format in memory. I say memory because each session logging into the server will have to perform this operation and I need it to be as fast as possible. I am aware of global temp tables and that they reside in the temp tablespace. However, the data in the temp table is written to the buffer cache which leads me to believe that there is a possibility that it could be written to disk too. This would be a huge drain on performance. So, I would appreciate any feedback.
