Hi,
I'm designing my database and I'm unclear on a few
things, and have found no answers in the docs...hoping
somone can clear these up...
1)
I see quite a few people using a "packed" and
"unpacked" record structure system for databases.
The packed structure is usually a smaller structure
with fewer memebers and the data is just concatenated
into the fewer memebers.
Supposedly this saves space but I don't see how that's
the case. After you've populated your sturcture, just
before writing Why not just use
sizeof(SomeStructure) then open your record to that
size and do your thing?
2)
Is there a max record size, or is it only limited by
the storage left on the device?
3)
Are there a max number of records per database or is
that again only limited by storage?
thanks very much for any help!
