Re: temp tables

Is this safe? What happens if multiple users hit the PHP page nearly simultaneously (or at least just after someone else) and the temp table exists? I avoided the temp table approach in an app for exactly this reason... What does PG do in this case? Do the temp tables belong to the session/connection and they're insulated from each other?

Thanks,

Bret
