DmWrite is not for "writing into a database", its only for writing into
memory different than your normal heap. Whether this area belongs to a
database is a totally different question.
If you want your data ending up in a database you have to tell at which
index and in which database. The "normal" way goes like this:
1.) DmNewRecord (or DmGetRecord) to create (or access) a record
2.) MemHandleLock
3.) DmWrite
4.) MemHandleUnlock
5.) DmReleaseRecord
You can also use a more exotic way by creating an orphaned handle first:
1.) DmNewHandle -- create a handle which may go into the database,
(MemHandleNew would be on your normal heap and won't work)
2.) MemHandleLock
3.) DmWrite
4.) MemHandleUnlock
5.) DmAttachRecord -- now the handle becomes part of the database
6.) DmReleaseRecord
If you want to check whether you data really is in the database,
you might want to try some of the pdb inspecting tools out there.
