Default Scratch Table Vs Temp Table

Hi,

>From the Informix documentation, I found that both scratch table and

temp table looks almost similar.
But if it's similar, there's no reason to have both.

So, can someone please enlighten me on the differences between scratch
and temp table.


Thanks in advance.

Scratch tables apply to XPS and not IDS.
