I verified that FIREBIRD_TMP environment variable can be used to control where temporary files are written. But TempDirectories in firebird.conf seems to have no effect with or without FIREBIRD_TMP env var set. Is TempDirectories setting broken in FB 2.5? Does it have no effect on embedded FB version?
Also, is it safe to use FIREBIRD_LOCK env var to control where FB writes its lock files?
