Hello All,
Here is the todo item -> * Allow temporary views

What exactly does this mean by temporary? by connection? it deletes
itself in x seconds?

Thanks,
chris

Deletes on session exit, liek temporary tables.

Do we have session _variables_ as a TODO item ?

Currently the only way to implement session variables is to stuff them
in temp tables ?

No we don't and no one has asked for them, _yet_.

Tables are the quintessential way to store data in SQL. Session data goes
into session-temporary tables. No need for session "variables" that I can
see.
