-
- DBTEMP has no effect on temporary *tables* created in OnLine; they will
- always exist in the root dbspace.
-
- Temporary *files*, created by the sort package, will be created in Unix
- file space. They will be located in: $PSORT_DBTEMP, $DBTEMP, or /tmp
- (in that order of preference).
-
- A future release of OnLine will allow you to specify the dbspace to
- be used for temporary tables.
