I think that advice is not correct nor relevant to Dennis' problem. You
need EXECUTE if you are dropping and recreating temp tables within the
lifetime of a single connection, but he didn't do that. Even if he did
do it and hasn't told us so, that does not explain why the error message
complains about the temp *schema* and not a temp table. There's
something very strange here, because the temp schema name for a given
session is definitely fixed for the life of the session.
