I know that this topic has been discussed frequently, but I didn't see
anything that answered my question. I am developing
an app that needs to support read-only access of a pdb database on a vfs expansion
card. However, it is not practical to load an
entire record into memory using VFSFileDbGetRecord().
I have read all the documentation, and it seems that in that case, I need to
parse the pdb format myself. Is this true?
Secondly, is there any way I can seek directly to a record of a given index in a file
db, or do I have to walk through every record until I
get to it? I guess it comes down to whether or not the record entries in the database
header are converted to list the offset of the
record, or something similar, when the database is moved onto the card. But I can't
find anything on this anywhere in the
documentation.
I would greatly appreciate any insight on this subject.
Thanks,
Dan Thayer
