I have read the whole thread. Even if we use temporary files
to hold temporary tables, the temporary files should have the
same structure as the database. They should be made up of
standard sized database pages with standard headers, contain
PIPs to locate free pages, and have data and index pages
indistinguishable from those in the database.
