Re: ERROR: out of shared memory

David,
I think that: ...

Method 1
*create temporary table if not exists temp_rslt of
ypxportal2__fgetquestions on commit drop;*

is not functionally equivalent to

Method 2

*drop table if exists temp_rslt;*
*create temporary table temp_rslt of ypxportal2__fgetquestions on commit
drop;*

For example:

step 1. A calls B
step 2. B creates *temp_rslt* table (substitute Method 1 or Method 2
at this step)
step 3. B inserts one record into *temp_rslt*
step 4. B returns, without error, to A -- note, no commit is done
step 5. repeat #1

If, at step 2, we use Method 1, then count(*) *temp_rslt* will never be
more than 1.
If, at step 2, we use Method 2, then count(*) *temp_rslt* will increment
with each iteration of steps 1 thru 5.

Make sense?
