Обсуждение: Cant find temp tables
hi all, i am struggling with temp tables. i have a statement like CREATE TEMP TABLE test (a BIGINT); it executes successfully, hence i know that the table has been created. but i cant see the table within the DB using PGADMIN. if i do SELECT * FROM test; it returns 0 records, but it still tells me that the table exists with no data inside it. if i do a DROP TABLE test; it deletes the table too. so everything is pointing to the fact that the table is created, contains no data, but i cant see it. there is only one schema (public) too. can somebody please help me out. thanks.

Sounds like a bug in pgadmin. Might be better asking that list though: http://www.pgadmin.org/support/ -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
could be. i will have a look at the pgadmin site and see if i can find anything. but the pgadmin guys couldnt have missed this problem, seems to be pretty important functionality. thanks.

Hi, pgAdmin guy here! There are a couple of issues to consider when trying to use temp tables in pgAdmin: 1) They live in pg_temp_NN schemas, which by default are hidden. Turn on Display -> System Objects to see them. 2) pgAdmin uses a separate connection for query tool windows. Because temp tables exist only for the life of the session, if you close the query tool (or whatever other session you created the table in), all the pg_class/pg_attribute rows will be removed so pgAdmin won't see them no matter how much you refresh the tree. Regards, Dave.
