Hello,

I have created a temporary table using

create temporary table foo
(
 id integer
);

and noticed this was created in a schema called "pg_temp_2"

My question is:

is this always "pg_temp_2"?
Or will the name of the "temp schema" change?

If it isn't always the same, is there a way I can retrieve the schema name for temporary tables?

Regards
Thomas


You can use:

SELECT nspname
FROM pg_namespace
WHERE oid = pg_my_temp_schema();

to get the name of the current temporary schema for your session.

And it's always pg_temp_[nnn] as far as I'm aware, with a corresponding pg_toast_temp_[nnn] schema.
