Re: Global/persistent variables

Thanks for all answers!

Unfortunatly, faking them with some C functions would be very complex
because in this application's case most of this variables are record
types and some are arrays (pl/tables)... :-(

It seems that creating temp tables (and some api functions) would be a
little bit easier to implement. One concern would be about preformance:
I guess that temp tables are written to disk and fetched as any other
table but discarded in the end of the session.

Any suggestion or comments?

Thanks again,
Ronnie
