Informix JDBC file caching of BLOBs...

All, The Informix JDBC driver caches Large Objects to files that are retrieved from the database. An environment variable can be set to control the size of objects cached to files (e.g. using lobcache=8192 will cache to file any object larger than 8192 bytes). The problem is, these cache files tend to accumulate in the application's working directory as the application runs. I need to know if there is a way to tell the JDBC driver to cleanup these files after they are no longer needed. Can any one provide any insight to this issue? Thanks, Randy W. McDaniel
