Sets the path of a directory to be used as the location to create the access method database files.
</p><p>
The syntax of this parameter in the <code class="literal">DB_CONFIG</code> file is a single line with
the string <code class="literal">set_create_dir</code>, one or more
whitespace characters, and the directory name.
</p><p>
For example:
</p><pre class="programlisting">set_create_dir /b/data2</pre>
Sets data2 as the location to create the access method database files. When the
<a class="xref" href="dbopen.html" title="DB->open()">DB->open()</a> function is used to
create a file, it will be created relative to this path.
<p> For more information, see <a class="xref" href="envset_create_dir.html" title="DB_ENV->set_create_dir()">DB_ENV->set_create_dir()</a>.</p></div>
