You declare a local temporary table for your connection only, using the

exists until the connection ends, or within a compound statement in which it is
declared. The table and its data are completely inaccessible to other users.
See "Versioning of temporary tables" for versioning information on local
temporary tables.
You drop a global temporary table just as you would a base table, with the
statement, or with the Sybase Central table editor. You cannot
DROP TABLE
drop or alter a global temporary table while other connections are using the
table it.
Adaptive Server IQ creates tables in your current database. If you are
connected to an IQ database, tables are placed as follows:

A Join Virtual Table is a denormalized table that looks like a regular table; it
has a name, columns, rows, and indexes. Adaptive Server IQ creates Join
Virtual Tables as a result of a Create Join Index for internal processing
purposes and deletes them when you do a Drop Join Index. You cannot create,
modify, or delete Join Virtual Tables, but you may see error messages related
to them if you try to use or modify them. Sybase suggests that you ignore all
Join Virtual Tables.
You can automate indexing for certain columns by creating a table with either
or
PRIMARY KEY
UNIQUE
