Defines the directory for temporary files.
The DBTEMP environment variable defines the directory for temporary files created by the
runtime system.
Important: The DBTEMP environment variable is also used by the IBM®
Informix® database client and server for temporary
files.
This environment variable is use to create temporary files for:
- TEXT or BYTE data located in a temporary file
(LOCATE IN FILE without file name specification).
- Temporary files of emulated scrollable cursors when the database engine does not support
this feature.
- Temporary file name generation with os.Path.makeTempName().
- Temporary files created by the Web Services API, such as com.HTTPResponse.getFileResponse.
On mobile devices, do not set DBTEMP environment variable: The runtime system will
automatically use the appriopriate temporary directory withing the app sandbox file
system.
