An analyst is working with tables in a Structured Query Language (SQL) database that have been made available for a period of time only to the user whose query or connection established the table. Which type of table is the analyst using?

Partitioned tables are designed to divide large datasets into smaller, more manageable pieces for performance optimization and easier organization. They do not limit access to a single user; instead, they allow multiple users to query any partitioned segment simultaneously, making them unsuitable for the described use case.

System tables are built-in tables that store metadata and system information for the database. They are accessible to all users with the appropriate permissions and are crucial for the database's functioning, which contradicts the exclusivity of access described in the question.

Global temporary tables are accessible to all users but only exist for the duration of the session that created them or until they are explicitly dropped. While they share some temporary characteristics, their accessibility by multiple users makes them inappropriate for the situation where only a single user's connection must have access.
