GOAL:

What are the files with a .cst extension that have appeared on my server?

FACT(s) (Environment):

Files with a .cst extension have suddenly appeared on the database server.
The files names correspond to the path to the database:
The database is located in /dir1/dir2/dir3/demo.db and the files are named dir1~dir2~dir3~demo.######.###.cst.
The contents of the file look like the following

FIX:

Files with the .cst extension similar in format to the example above are files created when Client Database Request Statement Caching has been enabled.
If the database-request statement cache information for a client exceeds 256 bytes of shared memory it is stored in a temporary file. If a directory for the statement cache information has not been specified (via the promon option to set the directory), then the current working directory is used.
