Perhaps call them "session tables" instead of "temp tables"?

regards, tom lane

Or "transient table" ...

Maybe we can define when such table lose data

But in real - there is no need in this feature - databases are made to hold
data, not to lose.

If an application requires mechanism to store transient session-data, it
should create its own session-objects.
