Re: Temporary table already exists

@mephysto I think you are trying to solve the wrong type of problem. Creation
of tables (temporary or not) are not supposed to run concurrently. So, this
is not an issue of PostgreSQL but design. There are two ways to solve the
problem.

a) You could use the sessionID (provided The Glassfish server) to create
unique names for the temporary table, if the temporary table is unique per
session. If not, since you are talking about multiplayer game the temporary
table name could include the userID, so it is unique per user. In that
sense, it could be persistent per user, or temporary depending on your
needs. In that case you will need EXECUTE command to CREATE the table in
your pgsql code, since the table name must be a variable in your functions.

b) I highly suspect that this temporary table is used for either caching or
local sorting / ordering. In this case Postgres is again the wrong tool. You
can use an embedded DB like SQLite, HSQLDB for the local database which may
be used for this type of operations, which 'syncs' to the global PostgreSQL
DB when connecting or disconnecting. Every client will have a separate copy
of this DB, so no overhead to the server.

Either way you will have solved your issue.
