This only happens if the UniqueID of the records in your PDB is nt actually
Unique. The records which have same UniqueID keep getting replaced, and the
last one of those is what remains.
This does not seems to happen on the Emulator so you cannot detect it on
the Emulator.
I've seen that Zero (0) UniqueID for all the records does seem to work
fine, but I don't know whether this is a portable practice ! To be on the
safe side use an incrementing counter for the UniqueID.
Hope this helps,

Subject: Records disappear after HotSyncing large PDB
I'm having a strange problem. I've created a large PDB file (14500 70 byte
records; approximately 1MB in total) with my own Windows code on the
desktop. I am able to load this database into POSE (by dropping the file on
it) with no problem. However, when I try to HotSync it to a real Palm, most
of the records disappear. The HotSync appears to work, and takes a long
time, as you'd expect; however, only 312 records show up (specifically:
every 256th record for 55 records, and then 257 in a row). Neither the
database nor the surviving records appear to be corrupted. The code I'm
using to create the PDB hasn't seen a lot of action, but I'm fairly
confident in it, and when I use it to create smaller PDBs (i.e., 100
records), they HotSync just fine. I've HotSynced this file to an SPT1500,
an
SPT1700, and a PalmV, all with the same dismal results. On the emulator
side, I've used several different ROMs -- including one downloaded from
that
SPT 1700 -- all with equal success.
I've read that HotSync fails with resources greater that 64K in size, but I
can find no mention of a limit for PDBs. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the help!
