Hi Guillermo,

Just checking up on this: when does memory usage shoot up?  Do you know if
it's when you're querying the database?  If so, then we can concentrate on
how the database is being queried.

It's a possibility, though I wouldn't assume this quite yet.  I can't take
a look at the code yet (I'm still at work!  *grin*), but when I get home,
I'll see if I can catch something in the code.  Thanks for posting your
code up.



(Personal experience: I did run into a real leaking bug in MySQLdb about
two years ago,

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=536624&group_id=22307&atid=374932

So leaking can happen in C extensions if the C extension is buggy.  But
still, such things are really darn rare.  Let's just make sure your code
is fine before we start hacking at SQLite... *grin*)



Talk to you later!
