Can someone explain why Temporary tables cannot be the answer in this case? They can both be used and I haven't found any docs stating otherwise.

Temporary tables's lifespan is session. The workload type was not specified, so I assume the expected lifespan is longer than a session. Transient tables exist until deleted, but they are not protected by Failsafe and max Time Travel is 1 day. If the data is lost, it can be recreated externally, so no need in Failsafe or Time Travel.Therefore, potentially significant savings on storage costs.

C As such, transient tables should only be used for data that can be recreated externally to Snowflake. Default: No value. If a table is not declared as TRANSIENT or TEMPORARY , the table is permanent. Transient tables have some storage considerations.
