Hi Looking at SQLite3Connection>>#close:
"Let FFIExternalResourceManager take care." "dbHandle ifNotNil: \[ library close: dbHandle \]." dbHandle := nil. isOpen := false. The commented out lines means that SQLite3Library>>#apiClose is not called when calling SQLite3Connection>>#close. But looking at https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/close.html and FFIExternalResourceManager it seems like it should take care of releasing resources (i.e., finalizing prepared queries etc) before calling SQLite3Library>>#apiClose. So this is by design? I will have a go at finalizing everything and call SQLite3Library>>#apiClose, at least while developing. Vince
