We have seen it quite some times (reported by customers) that an operation fails due to a name conflict on temporary tables. I am not sure we experienced data loss though, but in several cases emptying the /tmp folder from old garbage solved the issue.
ReplyDeleteWasn't it possible that the server simply catch this exception and try another name for the temporary table in such case?

The code that uses the temp filename is far removed from the code that generates it.
ReplyDeleteIs the intention with this post to:
ReplyDelete- perform marketing
or
- instruct how to perform marketing ?
(or both)
