Re: DBTEMP

Hi Bill, I do not have any manual here. But I think the Informix Training Manuals said: "if you do not set DBSPACETEMP the temporary objects will be stored as in version 5.x". This would mean, DBTEMP will be preferred over "/tmp" for temporary files (not tables). Bye Stefan Bill Weaver wrote: > > I'm running Online Dynamic Server version 7.22.
