I think the problem is that from a synchronisation perspective is there no
difference between "new" and "changed" -- both need to be updated on the
other side. A new record is thus marked dmRecAttrDirty.
Do you know how the records are inserted in the database? If they are just
concatenated and not inserted in index order you could keep track of the
last index and retrieve/inspect them from there...
Just a though.
