If I log in as PRODDBA and execute

CREATE GLOBAL multiset TEMPORARY TABLE call_hist
   (
       call_service_no        varchar(30)
      ,call_start_dt          date format 'yyyy-mm-dd'
   )
   primary index (call_service_no)
   on commit preserve rows;

The table gets materialised in user PRODDBA's Temp Space.

But what happens if I say explicitly qualify it with a Database name while creating table. What is the difference between the 2 SQLs and its impact.

CREATE GLOBAL multiset TEMPORARY TABLE DBNAME.call_hist
   (
       call_service_no        varchar(30)
      ,call_start_dt          date format 'yyyy-mm-dd'
   )
   primary index (call_service_no)
   on commit preserve rows;

In the second instance does the table behave as a normal table. Or is it that the table is still a Global Temp table and will be materialised in User Temp Space.

Million Thanks
