Commit? /forum/fa/1600/0/

As far as I understood the problem, this is what happened:
- the OP created a global temporary table
- worked with it for a while
- session was over (no matter how - for example, he/she disconnected from Oracle)
- as the OP returned back, the table was still there. It was empty, though, but it existed.
- the OP was puzzled why? as he/she expected that "temporary" means that it will be dropped once the session ends

Perhaps I misunderstood the whole story /forum/fa/3314/0/

That was my understanding too.
Think OP thinks they work like temp tables in sqlserver.

Maybe his 'temporary' table is one that he only wants to use for a week or so. He creates the table, populates it, but when he comes back the next day the records are missing. No 'commit', so the records do not exist outside of the session that created them.
