Thread: Temporary tables

Temporary tables

From
G u i d o B a r o s i o
Date:
The box:
Linux 2.4.24-ck1
8  Intel(R) Xeon(TM) MP CPU 2.80GHz
4 gb RAM.
Postgresql 7.4.2

The problem:
Short in disk space. (waiting new hard)

The real problem:
Developers usually write queries involving the creation of temporary tables.

The BF question:
Is a good idea to link this tmp tables to another partition?
If so, how can I link this tmp tables to another partition?
Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
Guido

I seen too this behavior, till I explained that this is a valid sql:

select T.* from ( select * from table t where a = 5 ) AS T join foo using ( bar );


show us a typical function that use temporary tables.
