SQL lite adding records

Okay, thanks!  I have been looking
a SQLYoga and see it has search,
sort and find.

It seems to use arrays but with using
large amounts of data in a data grid
you need to use a cursor.

SQLYoga does provide the ability to
use cursors but since it is using the
arrays is that using a lot of memory?
