The application I am writing will load data (on a daily basis) into the palm
handheld for querying information. The incoming data might be additions,
deletions, or modifications to the existing data already on the handheld.
I am looking for the appropriate command to lookup a record in the existing
database to see if it exists before applying the new transaction.
Lets say I have a Customer database base that is unique by customer number
and I there is a change record for customer 11111 (change of address) . I
want to retrieve the existing record and apply the change to it. The
commands I have found all seem to require a record index (which I don't
have). Is there another command that I can use to find the exact record for
customer 11111 or do I have to sequentially read thru the database to find
the record I am looking for?
Thanks,
Chris
