I haven't written a java conduit but with a C/C++ conduit, you can't have
more than one DB open at a time.

Hi Sergio and everyone else,
I'm a newbie to both this list and Palm computing so forgive me if this has
already been discussed, if I'm stupid or anything...
Are you sure that you can have multiple databases?
I'm developing a conduit i Java and I just can't create my second database.
I do something like this:
int DB_TYPE_DATA = 0x44415441;
int db1, db2;
try
db1 = SyncManager.openDB("database1", 0,
SyncManager.OPEN_READ | SyncManager.OPEN_WRITE |
SyncManager.OPEN_EXCLUSIVE);
}
catch(SyncException e) {
db1 = SyncManager.createDB(CREATOR_ID, SyncManager.DB_RECORD,
0, "database1", DB_TYPE_DATA);
}
try
db2 = SyncManager.openDB("database2", 0,
SyncManager.OPEN_READ | SyncManager.OPEN_WRITE |
SyncManager.OPEN_EXCLUSIVE);
}
catch(SyncException e)
db2 = SyncManager.createDB(CREATOR_ID, SyncManager.DB_RECORD,
0, "database2", DB_TYPE_DATA);
}
The first database creates/opens just fine, but the other just wont. When I
try to create it I get the following error message: Unknown: Error Creating
Database
I'm also developing a Palm application using KJava from Sun. To open a
database you do:
Database db = new Database(int typeID, int creatorID, int mode);
It seems like this does not support multiple databases. If it does, how do
you specify its name? On the other hand, when you create a database you do
Database.create(int cardNo, String name, int creatorID, int typeID, boolean
resDB);
Though, I have not tested to create multiple databases this way.
Please help a confused newbie.
I'd be very greatful for any help.
Malin
