I'm not sure if I understand your question.

If what you want is to push a message from GNU Health to another HL7
server, the best way would be to create a wizard or an action and send
the message to another HL7 server or "middleman" . I don't see the need
to use temp tables, and I would avoid that option.

PS: I almost missed my flight to Buenos Aires when writing the email,
so probably we can talk it there  during the week :)
