Thread: Return value of CREATE TABLE

Is this possible?

Basically I want to manage temp table status for use in a procedure.

The procedure looks at pg_catalog to get information for processing.

So basically I would like to be able to know what namespace a temp table is created in, so that I can constrain lookup.

example

CREATE TEMP TABLE tagdata (test int,test2 numeric(10,2));
SELECT relname,relpersistence ,relnamespace
,pa.atttypid,attname,attnum
,nspname
FROM pg_catalog.pg_class pc
JOIN pg_attribute pa ON pc.oid=pa.attrelid
JOIN pg_namespace pn ON pn.oid=relnamespace
WHERE relname = 'tagdata' AND attnum>0

Which returns (when its run for the second time in different tabs in pgadmin)
relname   persistence namespace typeid colname colnum schema
"tagdata" "p"             "2200"         "23"    "fileid"        1      "public"
"tagdata" "p"             "2200"         "25"    "tagname"  2      "public"
"tagdata" "p"             "2200"     "1009"    "tagvalue"  3       "public"
"tagdata" "t"           "483934"        "23"    "test"          1    "pg_temp_10"
"tagdata" "t"            "538079"       "23"    "test"          1    "pg_temp_13"
"tagdata" "t"            "538079"    "1700"   "test2"        2    "pg_temp_13"

So I would like some way of knowing exactly which schema the temp table has been created in, I cant see anything obvious

thanks
