Greetings! I must be doing something wrong. I've got a simple table with three columns, a key column, a value column and a timestamp column. There are 357,000 rows. The timestamps are stored as floating-point numbers (Julian dates), and the other two fields contain integers. I open the table, read one record, and close it. If I do not sort the data, there is no memory loss. Here's the query:
select datetime(value_timestamp) AS latest_time from trend_data If I sort the data and ask for only the first record, I leak over 2 megabytes of data. Here's the query: select datetime(value_timestamp) AS latest_time from trend_data order by value_timestamp desc limit 1 I got the same result when the query used the max() function instead of ordering the recordset. My program use sqlite3_prepare16_v2, followed by sqlite3_step, followed by sqlite3_finalize. Is there something I've left out? The application in which these calls are made is designed to be started and left alone. At one point, I checked TaskManager on the customer's computer and found that one instance of this program was using over 950 megabytes of memory! At that point, I advised the customer to restart the program once a day, but I'd really like to be able to tell them they don't have to do that any more. Thanks very much!
