Answer / rajesh kumar

Permenant Tables:
1. SET table - Strictly NO duplicate values [By-Default]
2. MULTISET table - Allows Duplicate Values.

Temporary Tables:
1. Global Temporary Table - supports [Compression in table],
when session logged out, Table persists and its record gets
vanished.
2. Volatile Table - When session logged out, TABLE and its
records are not available further.

I dont have idea about Derived Table, could someone
elaborate on this?

Answer / rajesh kumar

update on previous answer:

1.Derived table stores the derived result from a subquery.
2.It uses only spool space, so no table definition,
permission needed.
simple query eg:

select * from (select max(sal) from emp) DT (Max_sal)

answer:
derived table(DT) has Max salary and result would be

Max_sal- here subquery result is maintained in derived table
-------
25000

3. derived table auto drops after the query ends

permanent tables:
1.set---which thow out any rows that complete duplicates
2.mutiset--which allows multiple instances for same row.

definition stored on data dictionary. the data will be
stored on temp space that's why data is active upto the
session ends, we can collect statistics on GTT.
2.volatile temporary tables--when it is created the
definition is stored on cache.the data will be stored in
spool space,thats why data and table defition both are
active up to session ends.you can't collect statistics on
VTT.
3.derived tables-- when we created the definition is stored
on cache.it is local to an sql query.
they are specified on a query level with an AS keyword in
an sql ststment.
