How can be create temporary objects through forms 10g?

In oracle we can create a temporary table so similarly by using forms_ddl can we create a temporary table?

Are there any other temporary objects?

You can but you shouldn't. The point of global temporary tables is that the structure is permanent and the data is temporary. Creating them at run time is almost always unecessary and more trouble than it's worth.

This was asked from me in an interview. So I want to know that how temporary objects are created? Others things are secondary . So I woule like to confirm will it be through forms_ddl only?

As GTTs actually ARE tables (created with CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE ...) - yes, FORMS_DDL is the way to do that.

Another option might be HOST built-in. CREATE statement would be saved in a file, and HOST would start SQL*Plus and run the file (i.e. the CREATE statement itself).

Certainly. All those that you create, use for a while and then drop. But I don't know whether any of them are actually called "temporary" (except GTTs).

Any db object can be created on the fly and then dropped, but it isn't advisable.
