<p>
Sets the path of a directory to be used as the location to create the access
method database files. When the

create a file it will be created relative to this path.
</p>
<p>
If no database directories are specified, database files will be created
either by absolute paths or relative to the environment home
directory. See
<a href="../../programmer_reference/env_naming.html" class="olink">Berkeley DB File Naming</a>
for more information.
</p>
<p>
The database environment's create directory may also be configured
using the environment's <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file. The
syntax of the entry in that file is a single line with the string
"set_create_dir", one or more whitespace characters, and the directory
name.

The <span class="bold"><strong>dir</strong></span> parameter is a directory to

This directory must be one of the directories specified via a call to
