 3 Syntax as a command:  dmtd temp_dir_indicator
 4 
 5 
 6 Function:  This command displays the directory under which temporary
 7 storage for a given data base opening is placed.  This storage includes
 8 the "resultant model" that is created at open time for allowing access
 9 to the data base, storage for temporary relations, and intermediate
10 results of complex searches.  The default is the process directory.
11 
12 
13 Arguments:
14    where temp_dir_indicator must be one of the following:
15 database_index
16    the opening index returned by the dsl_$open subroutine.  If this
17    option is used, then the temporary directory pathname for that
18    particular opening is displayed.
19 -current, -cur
20    displays the current temporary directory pathname that is used in
21    subsequent calls to open.
22 
23 
24 Notes:  To change from the default the command set_mrds_temp_dir is
25 used to allow for the opening of a data base with a very large
26 resultant model that does not fit in the process directory, for a data
27 base with a large number of temporary relations, or for searches
28 involving many tuples in several relations.  This would be the case if
29 a record quota overflow occurred in the process directory on a call to
30 open.
