Thread: regclass, \d command and temp tables

Hi,

I have created regular table t1 and temp table t1. Regclass and \d
command do not seem to distinguish them. Is this normal?

test=# create table t1(i int);
CREATE TABLE
test=# select 't1'::regclass::oid;  oid   
---------1470776
(1 row)

test=# create temp table t1(i int, j int);
CREATE TABLE
test=# select 't1'::regclass::oid;  oid   
---------1470776 <-- why same oid?
(1 row)

test=# \d t1 <-- \d finds regular table, not temporary table?
     Table "public.t1"Column |  Type   | Modifiers 
--------+---------+-----------i      | integer | 

test=# insert into t1 values(1,2); <-- insert command works as expected of course.
INSERT 0 1
test=# select * from t1;i | j 
---+---1 | 2
(1 row)

It works for me.  Are you using clean sources?

regression=# create table t1(i int);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# select 't1'::regclass::oid; oid   
--------127671
(1 row)

regression=# create temp table t1(i int, j int);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# select 't1'::regclass::oid; oid   
--------127674
(1 row)

        regards, tom lane

Oops. Sorry for noise. I accidentaly accessed through pgpool and it load
balanced the SELECT to different PostgreSQL server. Pgpool should have
remebered that temporary tables are created in the session.
