For UNIX-based implementations of DB2, this field is titled Default directory, while in OS/2 and Microsoft Windows implementations, it is titled Default drive.
For OS/2 and Windows, click on the down arrow to display a list of possible drive choices. Highlight the one you want to use.
For OS/2, if the drive you want does not appear in the list, type the letter in this field.
Unless you override the default drive, the User Tables, Catalog Tables, and Temporary Tables will be stored here. The database configuration file and the database recovery log will also be stored here.
For UNIX, either type the directory you want to use or use the Browse button to select a directory.
You can create new table spaces on different drives or directories after you create the database. You can also use the newlogpath parameter to change the location of the database log files.
