Symptoms

Initialization Parameter temp_undo_enabled = true and Global temporary table was not working as we "expected":

1. We have a Global temporary table <SCHEMA>.<TABLENAME> with ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS.
2. we insert a single row to the GTT above and immediately commit the record.
3. We delete the same record from the GTT but DO NOT commit.
4. select any record over a database link from this same session.
5. select the deleted record from GTT --> NO ROWS RETURNED
6. Issue a commit (against the delete done in step 3)
7. select the deleted record from GTT --> the deleted row is retuned

Please note that the behavior in step 7 occurs ONLY IF step 4 is performed, else no rows are returned in step 7.
