I know this is a mailing list, I was referring to deleting from the
archive. But ok, you can't; thanks for answering my question. =)

I never said I had diagnosed or otherwise narrowed down the problem.

I built MySQL++ 1.7.40, and rebuilt my test project with that library.
The query object has no leak, tested with the same code. So, it may be
with MS's runtime library like you say.
At first I thought the problem was with MS's known std::basic_iostream
memory leaking problem. ( info here:
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=98861
) However, I obtained a non-public hotfix from MS that supposedly fixed
that problem, which it looks like it did, when I test out
std::stringstream and std::iostream objects in a similar loop.
I will look into it some more. Anyone else having similar issues?
Thank you for your help.
