QUESTION:

What ObjectStore calls create transient objects which need
to be explicitly deleted by the application using them?

ANSWER:

This may not be an exhaustive list, but it is a working
list of all ObjectStore calls that require cleanup in
order to avoid memory leaks:


objectstore::acquire_lock()                                 if os_lock_timeout_exception* returned
objectstore::compact()
