SQL server in RAM is growing while I'm updating from VB, and doesn't seem to stop. Is this a database issue or a programmatic one?

SQL Server always tries to grab as much memory as it can until the OS starts paging. It is using this memory for caching purposes. If you want to limit the amount of memory SQL Server can grab could set MAX SERVER MEMORY option.
