title: Oracle Global Temporary Table / PHP interaction question
body: <p>I've never used the Global Temporary Tables however I have some questions how they will work in a php environment.</p>
  
  <p>How is data shared: Assuming persistent connections to oracle through php using oci8.  Is the data tied to a database id? is it done based on the Apache httpd demons?  Or is each individual request unique?</p>
  
  <p>When is the data for the session cleared from the global temporary table? I'm assuming (or rather hoping) that its done when the php script exits.  Alternatively if not I'm assuming I'll need to remove it before script exit.</p>
