Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> MSSQL Table Variable Equivalent?
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.
