Temporary tables privileges

Hi, I'm new at pg.
I'll be using tmp tables in others rdbms. An user can create your own
tmp tables (grant temporary tables) but can't drop it (I don't want to
grant drop privileges).
Other way it's using on commit; but I can't make this work.

Example:
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmp ON COMMIT DROP AS
SELECT code FROM mytable WHERE code BETWEEN 1 AND 10;

shows error near ON

Our TODO has:

* Add ON COMMIT capability to CREATE TABLE AS SELECT

Thanks Bruce, then how can I grant an user to create tmp tables and
drop then it, without gives him global drop priv (I can't grant drop
priv for the tmp table because don't exist yet)

Thnx, Alejandro
Sorry 4 my english

Perhaps you need a SECURITY DEFINER function. You can set the
permissions on the temp schemas too:

GRANT { { CREATE | TEMPORARY | TEMP } [,...] | ALL [ PRIVILEGES ] }
ON DATABASE dbname [, ...] TO { username | GROUP groupname | PUBLIC } [, ...] [ WITH
GRANT OPTION ]

I have forgotten what you are trying to do.
