The Temporary property indicates whether a TDBISAMDatabase component is temporary and created by DBISAM as needed, or persistent and explicitly created, managed, and freed within the application. A temporary TDBISAMDatabase component is created when a dataset is opened and the dataset is not already linked with an existing TDBISAMDatabase component via its DatabaseName property. If Temporary remains True, then a temporary TDBISAMDatabase component is freed when the dataset is closed. An application can prevent the destruction of a temporary TDBISAMDatabase component by setting Temporary to False while the dataset is active, but the application is then responsible for closing the TDBISAMDatabase component when it is no longer needed.
