+<h2>Impose A Limit On Heap Size</h2>
+</div>
+<blockquote><pre>
+sqlite3_int64 sqlite3_soft_heap_limit64(sqlite3_int64 N);
+sqlite3_int64 sqlite3_hard_heap_limit64(sqlite3_int64 N);
+</pre></blockquote>
+<p>
+These interfaces impose limits on the amount of heap memory that will be
+by all database connections within a single process.</p>
+
+<p>The sqlite3_soft_heap_limit64() interface sets and/or queries the
+soft limit on the amount of heap memory that may be allocated by SQLite.
+SQLite strives to keep heap memory utilization below the soft heap
+limit by reducing the number of pages held in the page cache
+as heap memory usages approaches the limit.
+The soft heap limit is "soft" because even though SQLite strives to stay
+below the limit, it will exceed the limit rather than generate
+an <a href="../rescode.html#nomem">SQLITE_NOMEM</a> error. In other words, the soft heap limit
+is advisory only.</p>
+
+<p>The sqlite3_hard_heap_limit64(N) interface sets a hard upper bound of
+N bytes on the amount of memory that will be allocated. The
+sqlite3_hard_heap_limit64(N) interface is similar to
+sqlite3_soft_heap_limit64(N) except that memory allocations will fail
+when the hard heap limit is reached.</p>
+
+<p>The return value from both sqlite3_soft_heap_limit64() and
+sqlite3_hard_heap_limit64() is the size of
+the heap limit prior to the call, or negative in the case of an
+error. If the argument N is negative
+then no change is made to the heap limit. Hence, the current
+size of heap limits can be determined by invoking
+sqlite3_soft_heap_limit64(-1) or sqlite3_hard_heap_limit(-1).</p>
+
+<p>Setting the heap limits to zero disables the heap limiter mechanism.</p>
+
+<p>The soft heap limit may not be greater than the hard heap limit.
+If the hard heap limit is enabled and if sqlite3_soft_heap_limit(N)
+is invoked with a value of N that is greater than the hard heap limit,
+the soft heap limit is set to the value of the hard heap limit.
+The soft heap limit is automatically enabled whenever the hard heap
+limit is enabled. When sqlite3_hard_heap_limit64(N) is invoked and
+the soft heap limit is outside the range of 1..N, then the soft heap
+limit is set to N. Invoking sqlite3_soft_heap_limit64(0) when the
+hard heap limit is enabled makes the soft heap limit equal to the
+hard heap limit.</p>
+
+<p>The memory allocation limits can also be adjusted using
+<a href="../pragma.html#pragma_soft_heap_limit">PRAGMA soft_heap_limit</a> and <a href="../pragma.html#pragma_hard_heap_limit">PRAGMA hard_heap_limit</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The heap limits are not enforced in the current implementation
+if one or more of following conditions are true:</p>
+
+<p><ul>
+<li> The limit value is set to zero.
+<li> Memory accounting is disabled using a combination of the
+<a href="../c3ref/config.html">sqlite3_config</a>(<a href="../c3ref/c_config_covering_index_scan.html#sqliteconfigmemstatus">SQLITE_CONFIG_MEMSTATUS</a>,...) start-time option and
+the <a href="../compile.html#default_memstatus">SQLITE_DEFAULT_MEMSTATUS</a> compile-time option.
+<li> An alternative page cache implementation is specified using
+<a href="../c3ref/config.html">sqlite3_config</a>(<a href="../c3ref/c_config_covering_index_scan.html#sqliteconfigpcache2">SQLITE_CONFIG_PCACHE2</a>,...).
+<li> The page cache allocates from its own memory pool supplied
+by <a href="../c3ref/config.html">sqlite3_config</a>(<a href="../c3ref/c_config_covering_index_scan.html#sqliteconfigpagecache">SQLITE_CONFIG_PAGECACHE</a>,...) rather than
+from the heap.
+</ul></p>
+
+<p>The circumstances under which SQLite will enforce the heap limits may
+changes in future releases of SQLite.
