Not in an RDBMS! You missed the basic concepts of what a table is. It
models an entity or relationship in a real world. To have tables
created on the fly is to have a world in which elephants or any other
entity at all can fall from the sky.
Next, using temp tables of any kind is a sign of poor SQL programming.
This is just like hanging a scratch tape in a 1950's file system, so
you can do a sequence of procedural steps instead of using declarative
programming.
What is the REAL problem? Don't tell us what kind of kludge you want.
