In order to dispose of a statement you can do either sqlite3_reset() or sqlite3_finalize(). The common mistake is to do something like this: SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE rowid = 36 and then not do either _reset() or _finalize() because you know you have asked for only one row so you expect SQLite to have done a _finalize() for you.
