The new TEMP_EXTRACT_DIRECTORY database option controls whether a user is allowed to use the data extraction facility. The TEMP_EXTRACT_DIRECTORY option provides increased security and helps control disk management by restricting the creation of large data extraction files to only the directories for which a user has write access. For more information about this option, see Chapter 2, “Database Options” in the Sybase IQ Reference Manual. For more information about the data extraction facility, see “Data extraction options” in Chapter 7, “Moving Data In and Out of Databases” of the Sybase IQ System Administration Guide.
