No, it won’t.

The Delete keyword does not delete the document from the database, it deletes the object reference in memory. The code you posted only shows a single example of a document object, so any memory management advantage you gain from deleting the reference is not readily apparent – but imagine a large loop that opens hundreds or thousands of documents. Even though you ase the same variable name to refer to the document each time through the loop, every one of those document objects will create its own “footprint” in memory that will continue to exist until the whole routine is finished running. Using Delete to free up the memory makes the code consume the least possible amount of memory.

Actually, in the more recent versions the memory management has improved, and you don’t get any performance advantage this way. You only have to use Delete if you have reason to believe that the cache is out of date and you need to reload it, for instance if you passed the note ID to an agent you are running, and you want to see what changes the agent made to the document.

Andre, where do we get more information on how memory management has changed and what the new practices in LotusScript should be? Are you talking about ND7 or ND8?
Our servers are all at 7.0.3, do we need to still use Delete?

That’s nice to know. Thanks, Andre.
