There is no "command" to make SQLite use less memory.
Rather you have to use careful engineering to keep
the memory usage to a minimum.  Start with this:

    PRAGMA default_cache_size=10;

Then close your connection and reopen it and do this:

    PRAGMA cache_size;

Verify that you got a "10" back so that the change took.

When you compile, you will want to leave out as much stuff
as you do not need using SQLITE_OMIT_* flags.  You will
want to take care in your use of SQL so that you do not
specify SQL statements that inherently require a lot of
memory.  You'll probably want to make use of
sqlite3_soft_heap_limit() and sqlite3_release_memory().
Stay far, far away from sqlite3_get_table().  And so
forth.
