I forget which. Think about this for a second... if it is the first, then you have a dangling file reference the application cannot close. SQLite isn't going to do that. If it is the second, you have leaked memory. SQLite isn't going to do that either. > Instead check the return value. If you get SQLITE_OK then you > need to close the connection. If you don't, you don't. Check the return value, but call sqlite3_close(). Always. It will accept a NULL pointer. -j -- Jay A.
