global temporary tables / on commit preserve rows

Hi all,

regarding Oracle 8x, 9x, 10x.....

If I have a global temporary table and I store data in it, commit it, = and
the the session drops due to what reason ever, what about the data that = had
been preserved in the table ?
Can it ever be deleted, or is it really neccessary, to drop and = recreate it
? Is there a possibility to figure out, how many rows of data are kept = in
this temp. table ?

thx
