What do you mean? You know that it exists because you just created it
and the create succeeded. Can you describe a situation where you need
to know about a temp table and don't already know?
It can't go into the pg_tables table because then it would be visible
to other processes. Are you perhaps misunderstanding temp tables? You
cannot see them except from the process that created them.
