Environmental variables
The Berkeley DB library uses the following environment variables:
- DB_HOME
-
If the environment variable DB_HOME is set, it is used as part of
File Naming. Note, either the
DB_USE_ENVIRON or DB_USE_ENVIRON_ROOT flags must be
specified to db_appinit for the DB_HOME variable to take effect.
- TMPDIR, TEMP, TMP, TempFolder
-
The TMPDIR, TEMP, TMP and TempFolder environmental variables are all
checked as locations in which to create temporary files. See
DB_TMP_DIR in File Naming
for more information.
