Earlier this week we had a web server brought to its knees with too much
junk in the TEMP directory where VFP writes its scratch files.
Apparently, these files are being created all day long and instead of
going away as a good cursor should, these things are building up over
time.
The whole thing is my fault, because I should have realized that nothing
was deleting the files so they would need to be cleaned up. I feel
foolish already, so please no lectures. :-)
What could be the cause of a buildup of VFP TMP files on a web server?
Is there some setting that I have neglected? Does an ADO cursor created
through OLE DB work differently from a standard VFP cursor? It appears
that the VFP cursors get deleted just like they're supposed to.
I have written a program to delete the files on a weekly basis now that
it popped onto my radar screen (dumb, I know), but I'd really like to
know more about why those cursors aren't being cleaned up by VFP.
