To release as much memory as possible, just call sqlite3_release_memory(0x7fffffff); Or, if you think you might have more than 2GiB of memory in use: while( sqlite3_release_memory(0x7fffffff)>0 ){} Please note, however, that sqlite3_release_memory() is a no-op unless you compile with -DSQLITE_ENABLE_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT=1. -- D.
