That makes perfect sence. So you'd want sqlite to use /var/tmp. The question still remains why one needs to read the contents of the dir. Why not just try to create (as opposed to open) a file using fopen and then if it fails because the file already exists, just increment the filename until you get a filename that's not in use?
