Defines the directory used for temporary files.
When working with Large Objects (CLOBS, BLOBS, etc...), when data conversion occurs, or when data is sent to the server in pieces, a temporary file is often created on the client machine to store the information. Using this option you can specify a location for these temporary files. The system temporary directory will be used if nothing is specified.
The path specified must already exist and the user executing the application must have the appropriate authorities to write files to it. When the DB2® CLI Driver attempts to create temporary files, an SQLSTATE of HY507 will be returned if the path name is invalid, or if the temporary files cannot be created in the directory specified.
