If temp table fits in temp_buffer why do we have to reserve disk space
for that table?
If we commit after filling temp table ok=> Not enough temp_buffers for
the new one temp table write the first one to disk=> Not enough space
for temp file ok - our system in any way cant work further.
Cant see any problems in writing temp table data to disk only when
temp_buffer is full.
Any arguments against that behavior?
