Re: What instead of new/delete?

Can I use any method to allocate /deallocate memory other than new/
delete operators? Actually the problem is while using delete operator
in my ".sqc" files the application crashes. It seems the memory
location is locked by DB and so it throws an 'unhandled exception'.
Following is the code snippet from my application and now i dont wanna
touch the basic design.
