Subject Re: [firebird-support] How to make queries to a temporary result set
Author HECTOR RIOS
Hi Doug,
 
With temporary tables would have to create them when I make the first query, right?
I´m looking for something simpler.
I know this feature of temporary result set is implemented on other database servers -I think Db2- and would like to know if firebird does support it but seems like not...
 
Regards,
Hector Rios

Sounds like you need to use global temporary tables. These can have a
lifetime of the connection to the database which sounds like what would
be appropriate.
