As some of you probably have figured out, I have zero format training in any type of SQL, programming, scripting so most of the time I am at a disadvantage. I have to learn as I got, and ask a ton of questions. Question of the day...

Is this a pointer?
And a line like this at the bottom of a routine...
That is freeing up the memory, otherwise it would cause memory issues?

Correct on both.

The "*" means it is a pointer.
