no-temporary-table · eslint-plugin-postgresql

Why this matters

Temporary tables exist only for the current session, so they almost never belong in versioned SQL. If session-scoped scratch storage is required, build it from application code.

Examples

Incorrect

CREATE TEMP TABLE staging (id int);

Correct

CREATE TABLE staging (id int);

Configure it

// eslint.config.js
import postgresql from "eslint-plugin-postgresql";

export default [
  {
    files: ["**/*.sql"],
    languageOptions: {
      parser: postgresql.configs.recommended.languageOptions.parser,
    },
    plugins: { postgresql },
    rules: {
      "postgresql/no-temporary-table": "warn",
    },
  },
];
