I asked the same question a while ago. Got a couple of replies. This is what
we formulated from the replies. This is pseudo code only, but this is what
we do to get the DB size in Palm.
#define DB_HEADER_OVERHEAD 64
//this one is said to be 16 or 14 byte, but actually checking the
//change in record size in Palm Vx, we found 20 to be most accurate
#define RECORD_OVERHEAD 20
Long lDBSize = DB_HEADER_OVERHEAD;
for(i=0; i< nNoOfRecords; i++)
{
Long lRecordSize = GetRecordSize(i);
//align it to 4 byte boundary
if (lRecordSize % 4)
lRecordSize = lRecordSize + (4 - (lRecordSize % 4)) +
RECORD_OVERHEAD;
lDBSize += lRecordSize;
}
