Hi all!

I'm working on a project that acquires data from the serial port on a
polling basis (with polling interval typically around 0.2s). What's the best
way of storing the records? Do I store each polled data every 0.2s or do I
buffer a certain amount into memory before storing them? What's the overhead
introduced using the database manager's APIs? I'm worried that by storing
every data at every polling instance, the overhead might be too great and it
will miss the next polling interval.

Also, what happens to a record that it opened if someone resets the device?
Does it get lost? Will it have something like "lost clusters" on the PC? :)

Regards,
Gee.
