Oracle数据库除了可以保存永久表外,还可以建立临时表temporary tables。这些临时表用来保存一个会话SESSION的数据,或者保存在一个事务中需要的数据。
当会话退出或者用户提交commit和回滚rollback事务的时候,临时表的数据自动清空(truncate),但是临时表的结构以及元数据还存储在用户的数据字典中。

ORACLE数据库除了可以保存永久表外,还可以建立临时表temporary tables。这些临时表用来保存一个会话SESSION的数据,或者保存在一个事务中需要的数据。当会话退出或者用户提交commit和回滚rollback事务的时候,临时表的数据自动清空(truncate),但是临时表的结构以及元数据还存储在用户的数据字典中。
In addition to permanent tables, Oracle can create temporary tables to hold session-private data that exists only for the duration of a transaction or session.
Temporary tables are supported by Oracle9i and Oracle8i.
2具体介绍
Oracle临时表分为 会话级临时表 和 事务级临时表。
会话级临时表是指临时表中的数据只在会话生命周期之中存在,当用户退出会话结束的时候,Oracle自动清除临时表中数据。
事务级临时表是指临时表中的数据只在事务生命周期中存在。当一个事务结束(commit or rollback),Oracle自动清除临时表中数据。
临时表中的数据只对当前Session有效,每个Session都有自己的临时数据,并且不能访问其它Session的临时表中的数据。因此,临时表不需要DML锁。
The CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE statement creates a temporary table that can be transaction-specific or session-specific. For transaction-specific temporary tables, data exists for the duration of the transaction. For session-specific temporary tables, data exists for the duration of the session. Data in a temporary table is private to the session. Each session can only see and modify its own data. DML locks are not acquired on the data of the temporary tables. The LOCK statement has no effect on a temporary table, because each session has its own private data.
DML操作的临时表不产生redo log重作日志,但会产生回滚日志Undo log;Undo的产生(rollback segment)会产生Redo log。
DML statements on temporary tables do not generate redo logs for the data changes. However, undo logs for the data and redo logs for the undo logs are generated.
当一个会话结束(用户正常退出 用户不正常退出 ORACLE实例崩溃)或者一个事务结束的时候,Oracle对这个会话的表执行 TRUNCATE 语句清空临时表数据.但不会清空其它会话临时表中的数据.
A TRUNCATE statement issued on a session-specific temporary table truncates data in its own session. It does not truncate the data of other sessions that are using the same table.
DML statements on temporary tables do not generate redo logs for the data changes. However, undo logs for the data and redo logs for the undo logs are generated. Data from the temporary table is automatically dropped in the case of session termination, either when the user logs off or when the session terminates abnormally sUCh as during a session or instance failure.
你可以索引临时表和在临时表基础上建立视图.同样,建立在临时表上的索引也是临时的,也是只对当前会话或者事务有效. 临时表可以拥有触发器.
You can create indexes for temporary tables using the CREATE INDEX statement. Indexes created on temporary tables are also temporary, and the data in the index has the same session or transaction scope as the data in the temporary table.
You can create views that Access both temporary and permanent tables. You can also create triggers on temporary tables.
空间分配Segment Allocation(v$sort_usage)
Temporary tables use temporary segments. Unlike permanent tables, temporary tables and their indexes do not automatically allocate a segment when they are created. Instead, segments are allocated when the first INSERT (or CREATE TABLE AS SELECT) is performed. This means that if a SELECT, UPDATE, or DELETE is performed before the first INSERT, then the table appears to be empty.
Temporary segments are deallocated at the end of the transaction for transaction-specific temporary tables and at the end of the session for session-specific temporary tables.
临时表在一些版本中存在BUG可能产生过多的REDO LOG。

3建立临时表
临时表的定义对所有会话SESSION都是可见的,但是表中的数据只对当前的会话或者事务有效.
建立方法:
1) ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS 定义了建立事务级临时表的方法.
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE admin_work_area
(startdate DATE,
enddate DATE,
class CHAR(20))
ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS;
EXAMPLE:
SQL CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE admin_work_area
2(startdate DATE,
3 enddate DATE,
4 class CHAR(20))
5ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS;
SQL create table permernate( a number);
SQL insert into admin_work_area values(sysdate,sysdate,'temperary table');
SQL insert into permernate values(1);
SQL commit;
SQL select * from admin_work_area;
SQL select* from permernate;
A
1
2)ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS 定义了创建会话级临时表的方法.
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE admin_work_area
(startdate DATE,
enddate DATE,
class CHAR(20))
ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;
EXAMPLE:
会话1:
SQL drop table admin_work_area;
SQL CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE admin_work_area
2(startdate DATE,
3 enddate DATE,
4 class CHAR(20))
5 ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;
SQL insert into permernate values(2);
SQL insert into admin_work_area values(sysdate,sysdate,'session temperary');
SQL commit;
SQL select * from permernate;
A
1
2
SQL select * from admin_work_area;
STARTDATEENDDATECLASS
17-1?? -03 17-1?? -03 session temperary
会话2:
SQL select * from permernate;
A
1
2
SQL select * from admin_work_area;
未选择行.
会话2看不见会话1中临时表的数据.
temporary tables -- but they have to support
a) read consistency
b) rollback
c) rollback to savepointhttp://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:8284619847966507619::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:30774214640787
they definitely -- totally definitely -- generate UNDO.
consider:
ops$tkyte@ORA9IUTF create global temporary table t ( x int ) on commit preserve
rows;
Table created.
ops$tkyte@ORA9IUTF insert into t values ( 1 );
1 row created.
ops$tkyte@ORA9IUTF variable x refcursor
ops$tkyte@ORA9IUTF exec open :x for select * from t;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
that is (as always) a read consitent result set, it is pre-ordained, we
haven't fetched a single row of data yet -- NO IO HAS BEEN performed, the result
set is not 'copied' somewhere -- just like any other query
ops$tkyte@ORA9IUTF savepoint foo;
Savepoint created.
ops$tkyte@ORA9IUTF insert into t values ( 2 );
1 row created.
ops$tkyte@ORA9IUTF select * from t;
X

that shows we can see two rows -- but
ops$tkyte@ORA9IUTF print x

that query used UNDO to rol
