I read pieces of information from other threads but I got more confused... I think I d better ask this question first: how exactly does sqlite manage memory usage, when does it attemp to release memory? Does page size/ number of pages affect insert operations? Does transactional-insert lock up memory and never release them?
Because from my application it seems that as more inserts have been done in batches, memory consuption is increasing... I have tried close and reopen the connection but with no help. Any suggestions please, many thanks! zqzuk wrote: > > Hi, I am using SQLite 3.5.4, my application has encountered a memory > management issue which I think is caused by sqlite.
