According to the mysql reference manual, the definition of this field is: "How many temporary files mysqld has created. "
Can someone elaborate on this? What causes mysql to create a temporary file? I see something indicating it may be associated with replication. In our environment (which has replication) we see counts for this variable in the tens of thousands.
