I found the table that I wasn't closing properly, which was locking up my database. Thanks again, Dr. Hipp, for pointing me in the right direction.
But I just stumbled on another problem. It shouldn't show up in production, but it wouldn't be good to ignore it, either. The table I'm working with has 3 columns: a tag_key, a value and a time. The tag_key is a foreign key into another table that has 5 record, so the possible values of tag_key are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Data is added to this table in sets, one record for each possible tag key. At our customer's site, this table is about 68 megabytes long, containing data from several months ago up to the current time. For convenience in debugging, yesterday morning I stripped out all data except that recorded between midnight and the current time, so now it contains only about nine hours' worth of data. The control I developed that displays the graph allows the user to select data up to one month old. So, just for the heck of it, I asked for data about two weeks old. This generated the following query: select tag_key, value, julianday(value_timestamp) AS juliantime from trend_data where tag_key in (select tag_key from trend_pens where trend_key = 1) and datetime(value_timestamp, 'localtime') > '2009-02-25 17:26:42' and datetime(value_timestamp, 'localtime') < '2009-03-25 13:26:42' There is no data in the trend_data table that is older than 2009-03-25 13:26:42, so this query should just return no records. Instead, sqlite3 throws an out of memory error! I know this isn't very much to go on, but can anyone suggest anything I might be doing wrong that would cause this simple query to fail so badly? My control is written in C++ using MS Visual Studio 6. Thank you very much!
