*.tmp file queryanalyzer huge. How to change path ?

  • Yesterday the server administrator called me because the C: drive of the server was out of space. It seems that in my profile dir an TMP File was created by the queryanalyzer with a size of 4 GB.

    Is it possible and 'If yes'  how can I change the path of this tmp file ?

  • That can be handled best by the computer properties, advanced tab, environment variables. You can set either users temp or servers.

  • Antares,

    I've got some questions that I hope you'll be able to answer:

     - why was the QA temp file stored under the users domain profile on the db server?

     - is Martin using his domain login for MSSQLSERVER service?

     - what happens when you logon to QA with SQL security?

     - why does QA use this path and what for?

     - how would it be possible to truncate the tmp (restart the sql server server)?

    This is a new one for me and I can't find anything pertinent to the db server environment variable for QA.

    Thanks
