The data in a global temp table is only visible to the session that inserted the data, the other sessions cannot see the data, regardless of a commit.

A quick search of the doc...

GLOBAL TEMPORARY Specify GLOBAL TEMPORARY to indicate that the table is temporary and that its definition is visible to all sessions. The data in a temporary table is visible only to the session that inserts the data into the table.

A temporary table has a definition that persists the same as the definitions of regular tables, but it contains either session-specific or transaction-specific data. You specify whether the data is session- or transaction-specific with the ON COMMIT keywords (below).

Here is the (broken up) link....

Rick,
it is like any other table ... if the data is committed and you have access you can see data, else no you can't. Raj

Hi All,
In session 1 I am loading data into a global temp table. Is there any way to see contents of that table?
Thanks
Rick
