Hello meg, actually there is nothing in these 2 lines that could cause memory leaks. You should provide us with some more code to detect them and to find out, why the content of newData is not stored in your database. But what I can see from the 2 lines: The first is not the way you would use a database. The second looks much better, but you probably should write StrLen(newData)+1 if you also want to store the '\x00' at the of the string. If you dont save the length of string somewhere else and just read from this record, you might get garbage at its end. But give us some more code to be more specific.
