Extend scripting language to auto drop tables

AndrewMcIlwrick — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 08:50:26 GMT

Developers often create temporary tables to serve a specific purpose in their data loads.

Languages such as Oracle PL/SQL support the creation of temporary tables, so how about extending the scripting language to allow a construct like

Table A :TEMP //or some equivalent syntax structure

The table would be automatically dropped at the end of script execution in the same way mapping tables are. This would remove the need for people to remember to do manual cleanup.

Table A:AUTODROP

which would automatically drop the (temp) table after its first and next usage. Clean and efficient ?
