Google app engine:Where is the datastore file stored on the local development server?

Question

I am working on a google app engine project using python. I want to know where does google app engine stores the datastore for the projects. I have tried but could not find it.

Can anyone please help me? I am using windows.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If you want to manage datastore file in your own directory, you can set the datastore path with command line arguments. See this document.

--datastore_path=...
The path to use for the local datastore data file. The server creates this file if it does not exist.

Answer 2

On my Windows machine the datastore file is stored in:

C:\Documents and Settings\(yourusername)\Local Settings\Temp

It'll have a .datastore extension.
