Thread DBISAM Temp files (*.dat, *.blb)

Hi.
I developing application on Delphi + DBISAM VCL. I have a separate DB directory.
But after the program run in App directory there are a lot of *.dat, *.blb files are created.

I guess there are a temporary files.

How I can specify separate directory for temp files?

If running in local session then you need to set the PrivateDir property of the session component.
See here:
http://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=viewprop&id=dbisam4&product=d&version=5&comp=TDBISAMSession&prop=PrivateDir

if C/S then server has the setting.

As of 4.30 build 5 this is set automatically but older version you need to set it

1. Set the sessions PrivateDir

2. If you're getting a lot of .dat, .idx and .blb files left over then somethings wrong. You can spot temporary tables since they've an all numeric name. If this isn't the case you're not cleaning up after yourself, if it is the case then as I said something's wrong because DBISAM should clean up after itself.
