Yes,
I want to move a database from a memory card and a temporaly rename
the existing database on device in case of crash, i use this code :
// get current db info and rename it
DmOpenDatabaseInfo(_dbP, &oDbID, 0, 0, &oCardNo, 0);
GamCloseDatabase(true); // internal function to close the currently
opened DB
DmSetDatabaseInfo(oCardNo, oDbID, "ScummVM-Data-old.pdb", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, &type, 0); // rename the DB
// try to import the new DB
e = VFSImportDatabaseFromFile(gPrefs->card.volRefNum,
"/Palm/Programs/ScummVM/listdata.pdb", &nCardNo, &nDbID);
if (e) {
// if an error occured reset the DB name
type = 'DATA';
FrmCustomAlert(FrmErrorAlert, "Failed to import games database from
memory card.", 0, 0);
DmSetDatabaseInfo(oCardNo, oDbID, "ScummVM-Data.pdb", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, &type, 0);
} else {
// if success get the new (?) LocalID of the old DB and delete it
// in OS5 the localID may change ... ? (cause Free Handle error)
oDbID = DmFindDatabase (oCardNo, "ScummVM-Data-old.pdb");
DmDeleteDatabase(oCardNo, oDbID);
}
GamOpenDatabase(); // open the new DB
It seems that EvtGetEvent perform some DB integrity check
and cause the Free Handle error.
