Would you elaborate a bit more on that? To my untrained-in-C eyes it looks like there's the outer transaction, then a savepoint1, then a loop of (savepoint2, update the only record, release savepoint2). Is savepoint2 there not actually getting released each time? Wouldn't the outer transaction and savepoint1 each only need to hold the original 2 pages? Which of those is/are eating the memory? Is it an SQL problem or a C problem that's causing it? And what's the correct way?

When the database file is on disk, the statement log is a temporary file on disk which you are not noticing. But when the database file is ":memory:" the statement log is also in memory. 500K transactions at 4KB per page accounts for most of the 2GB of memory used. -- D.
