TSession.PrivateDir Property

Specifies the directory in which to store temporary table processing files generated by the Borland Database Engine (BDE) for database components associated with a session.

Pascal

property PrivateDir: String;

C++

__property AnsiString PrivateDir;

Description

Use PrivateDir to set the directory in which to store temporary table processing files for all database connections, such as those generated by the BDE to handle local SQL statements. Ordinarily this value is only set at runtime, so that a user's local hard disk is used to store temporary files. Local storage of these files improves performance. If no value is specified for PrivateDir, the BDE automatically stores temporary files in the directory current at the time the BDE was initialized.

Note: For applications that run directly from a networked file server, the application should set PrivateDir to a user's local drive to improve performance and to prevent temporary files from being created on the server where they might conflict with temporary files created by other instances of the application.
