Hi Alexander,
I found it meanwhile and it is really what your code points to - selection
of the heap. Dynamic heap gets cleared on reset - storage heap must be used
instead. I should have noticed it earlier.
Call to MemHandleSetOwner in my original code might be unnecessary - have to
verify it yet.

We are building a file manager. So we do not create such databases, but
would like to handle the existing cases. I just verified that the technique
works for NetFront (has one record of 1.5 MB) - I was able to zip/unzip it
or copy between the memory and the card.
Best regards,
Jan Slodicka

modify it for a big record. Note that such DBs can cause trouble for backup
