Tables are not removed. Data is. That is why this type of tables
is called "global". Rumor is that a company from Redmond, WA will
buy Oracle, rename it to SQL Server and then the temporary tables
will disappear at the end of session. Then we'll have one database 
to rule them all, one database to find them, and in the SQL Server 
bind them in the state of  WA where.... I forgot the rest.
Morals of the story is that the temporary table from oracle is not 
the same thing as the temporary table from the Microshit SQL Server.
Cursor is the same thing as the MS temporary table. To be consistent 
with Jared's opinion about me, I have one more thing to add: RTFM.
If I mispronounced a word or two, it's because I'm a foreigner.
