[postgis-users] schema name for a temp table?

SELECT nspname FROM pg_namespace WHERE oid = pg_my_temp_schema();

But what exactly do you mean by "spatially enabled"?  Any table with a 
geometry column is "spatially enabled".  It may not be registered with 
the geometry_columns metadata table or have spatial constraints on it, 
but it is capable of holding spatial data.

ie.
CREATE TEMP TABLE test (id integer, the_geom geometry);
\d
      Table "pg_temp_11.test"
   Column  |   Type   | Modifiers
----------+----------+-----------
  id       | integer  |
  the_geom | geometry |

Cheers,
Kevin
