“DB_handle” isn’t a term used in the SQLite C API. If you’re using a different (wrapper) API, you need to state which one you’re using, because the answer may depend on it. In the C API, after you’ve closed a connection, the `sqlite3*` pointer used as the database handle is garbage — it points to deallocated/freed heap memory. There’s no way to tell whether a heap block has been freed or not*. So the answer to your question is probably “no”. —Jens * not without groping into data structures private to the implementation of malloc/free... _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
