Good morning,
I was looking at a clients system and noticed an abnormally large temporary file created.
The file was called fb_sort_4mlopc and it was in the C:\WINDOWS\Temp folder. The file was dated 26/07/2010. It's size is 560,749,148KB
What would cause this large file? Some sort of (perhaps aborted) sort process?
The current DB size is 25,193,928KB
I am inclined to delete this temp file as I don't think it is necessary. Is that OK to do so?
Current version of Firebird is 2.1.2.18118
Thanking you in advance.
