What you're doing is fine.
As long as you don't call DmAttachRecord (or use DmNewRecord to get the
handle), you can use MemHandleFree to remove it. If the handle is attached
to a database, then you need to use DmRemoveRecord or DmDeleteRecord.
You're right, this is the smart way to insert a new record into a sorted
database.
