A tmp database created with the server, analogous to the /tmp file system

In Linux systems (and in all Unix flavors) there is a /tmp directory or better, a /tmp file system. Anyone can create a file or directory in there and, in Linux, it cleared at boot time. (Other flavors use a cron job to clear out unused files.)

I propose a tmp database to be created with the other system databases an initialization time. It would have the following properties:

  • grant connect, resource to public

  • Not logged BUT ...

  • Can participate in any query, joined to any table in any database, regardless of the logging mode of that database.

  • Is emptied out after otherwise completing fast recovery
