Read the Palm OS Companion. It explains all this. To handle databases on a memory card, you will need to specifically program for it in your application. If the database you are reading is not going to change (ie it is read only) you can retrieve records right off of the memory card. My understanding is that this is slow though. If you need to update a database you will need to load it into Palm's primary memory, make your changes and than copy it back to the memory card. In my app. I treat the memory card like a disk. If your database is huge, you may want to split it up into multiple databases and only load the part your need.

But if I just want to store, a huge database like a dictionary and have the program still on the main memory. Will palm download the database to the man memory and then upload it back or can you like read and edit files on the card if the aren't a program? -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
