And where do tables created with "CREATE LOCAL TEMPORARY TABLE..." fit
into this, like if say a local temp table where created that has the same
name as an existing normal (i.e., not a local temp) table? And what if I
do an explicit DROP of the local temp table rather than relying on the
automatic, end-of-session clean-up? Is there any risk of losing the
normal table?
