Understood.

So, a related question, since we have dozens of temp tables and a lot of
code, is there a way to look up what temp tables are being created by the
current session, so I can do a VACUUM or ANALYZE on all of them in bulk? I
know I can inspect pg_temp_* schema, but how to figure out which one is
from the current session?
