Environment 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: For the DB_HOME variable to take effect, either the
DB_USE_ENVIRON or DB_USE_ENVIRON_ROOT flags must be
specified to DB_ENV->open.
- TMPDIR, TEMP, TMP, TempFolder
- The TMPDIR, TEMP, TMP, and TempFolder environment variables are all
checked as locations in which to create temporary files. See
DB_ENV->set_tmp_dir for more information.
