After all desired operations have been performed, you need to clean up the resources allocated on behalf of the application. In addition to any memory explicitly allocated by the application, using malloc or new, all engine objects must also be cleaned up, including the cursor, database, and engine:

 

if (pRecBuf != NULL)

   free(pRecBuf);                                                // Free the record buffer

 

if (hCur != 0)

   Chk(DbiCloseCursor(&hCur));                // Close the cursor

 

if (hDb != 0)

   Chk(DbiCloseDatabase(&hDb));                // Close the database

 

DbiExit();                                                                                // Close the BDE.
