Hi, this page (http://monetdb.cwi.nl/SQL/Documentation/Table-Definition.html) states that only the LOCAL TEMPORARY scope of SQL is implemented. Considering the following interaction with in mclient, it does not seem that is implemented at all. Am I missing something here or it is a bug? sql>CREATE LOCAL TEMPORARY TABLE transaction_statements ( ctx INTEGER NOT NULL, subj INTEGER NOT NULL, pred INTEGER NOT NULL, obj INTEGER NOT NULL, expl BOOL NOT NULL ); operation successful sql>INSERT INTO transaction_statements (ctx, subj, pred, obj, expl) VALUES (0, 1, 2, 805306369, 1); 1 affected row (10.450ms) sql>SELECT * FROM transaction_statements; +-----+------+------+-----+------+ | ctx | subj | pred | obj | expl | +=====+======+======+ +-----+------+------+-----+------+ 0 tuples (1.490ms) sql>SELECT * FROM tmp.transaction_statements; +-----+------+------+-----+------+ | ctx | subj | pred | obj | expl | +=====+======+======+ +-----+------+------+-----+------+ 0 tuples (1.443ms) sql>SELECT * FROM tmp._tables; +------+------------------------+------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+------+-------+------+-------+ | id | name | sche | query | type | syste | comm | reado | : : : ma_i : : : m : it_a : nly : : : : d : : : : ctio : : : : : : : : : n : : +======+========================+======================================================================+======+=======+======+=======+ | 5678 | transaction_statements | 2103 | null | 0 | false | 1 | false | +------+------------------------+------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+------+-------+------+-------+ 1 tuple (2.013ms) Thanks, Babis
