 A.2.12 `Can't create/write to file'
 -----------------------------------
 
 If you get an error of the following type for some queries, it means
 that MySQL cannot create a temporary file for the result set in the
 temporary directory:
 
      Can't create/write to file '\\sqla3fe_0.ism'.
 
 The preceding error is a typical message for Windows; the Unix message
 is similar.
 
 One fix is to start `mysqld' with the `--tmpdir' option or to add the
 option to the `[mysqld]' section of your option file.  For example, to
 specify a directory of `C:\temp', use these lines:
 
      [mysqld]
      tmpdir=C:/temp
 
 The `C:\temp' directory must exist and have sufficient space for the
 MySQL server to write to.  Option files.
 
 Another cause of this error can be permissions issues. Make sure that
 the MySQL server can write to the `tmpdir' directory.
 
 Check also the error code that you get with `perror'. One reason the
 server cannot write to a table is that the filesystem is full:
 
      shell> perror 28
      Error code  28:  No space left on device
