My data is small so I've never had to deal with any of the memory issues
(typically < 5K per PDB)  But I do sometimes deal with dozens to hundreds of
individual PDB files.  We use the backup conudit to bring the PDB files to
the host platform.  If any files need to be sent to the Palm, we use the
standard install method.  We do not need to 'sync' data, only to have it
appear on the host. Thus, we don't benefit from syncing.

IS departments mostly.  So yes, they do some custom programming to read the
data, but ultimately don't need to know anything about the Palm work with
the data.

No real details to share.  Backup conduit brings the data files to the host.
Then you read PDB files directly.  Customer sucks data from the PDB into
their application format (which is not always a DB app)

On the surface, its much less complicated than using a conduit, but we've
had to do more work to make the transition seemless.  There's nothing wrong
with conduits.  Just in my case they were more of a support black hole.
