Dll to query this database and retrieve each record. Each record is in form
of an array and again the all records are placed inside a safearray.I have
writen a test program to repeatedly query this funcvtion and load the
safearray with all the records.But all 3 times i get an error message that
my computer is low on virtual memory and needs to be increased . What i feel
is i am not able to release COM pointers. But whatever interface pointers
are there they are all ssamrt pointers that is they release themselves.

Does your DLL by chance use ADO's GetRows method to fetch the records?
