Here's a paragraph from a white paper that you can find
at the Palm Computing Developer's Zone:
A record or resource can be no larger than the largest
memory chunk, currently a bit under 64 K each. There can
be no more than 64K records in a record database, and
there is virtually no limit on resources in a resource
database (it's over 200 trillion). However, API calls
that reference records and resources by index limit the
number of accessible records or resources to 32,768.
To find this article, go to www.palm.com/devzone, find
(and click) the Knowledge Base link at the bottom of the
page, and search for keywords memory architecture. There
are two white papers; one for OS 2.0, and the other for
OS 3.0 and beyond (Palm's words, not mine). Very good
reading. Absorbing the content will definitely answer
lots of your questions.
