I'm working on an application that comes with a 1MB+ dictionary database that is just a bunch of static data. I'd like users to be able to either put it in RAM or on an external card. According to the PalmOS docs, I can use VFSFileDBGetRecord() to deal with the database on the card almost like it's local, but I need to look through the whole DB quickly and often. The docs say that it's an inefficient way to do things, so what is a better option?
That depends on the structure of the data. Is is possible to keep any type of indices in RAM without putting the full database there?
