Hi, I have developed an application (for windows XP) that gets record from sql server, converts them into
Palm OS DB format and makes a .pdb file on desktop PC. The file is created successfully on desktop PC and when i transfer it on the PDA (Palm OS 5.2.1) it is correctly installed and works perfectly with the relevant application. All the records are shown properly without any error or discrepancy. Despite all the success i have one single concern. I know that when records are saved on Palm OS in a pdb file, it generates a unique id to identify every single record. I dont know how to generate this unique id. Right now i am using a unique id i obtained from a .pdb file backed up from Palm OS (for every other record i increment 1 in the id previously obtained). I fear that these IDs may conflict with the one origonally generated by Palm OS and may cause loss of data. So my questions are: 1) what is the way Palm OS generates an id to uniquely identify records in a database resource file(.pdb) file? 2) Do i need to generate a unique id as per the way Palm OS does or a unique id generated by adopting any formula would serve the purpose?
