Re: createing pdb records on the desktop

[Huiqiang Zhang]

I am not sure if my method was correct, but it seems so. I just made the 3 
bytes' unique ID an increasing value, from 1 to N, N is the total record 
number. And I tested with real devices and it worked well even I had used 
more than one such database. You can do it, and see what will happen. Have 
fun!

Subject: createing pdb records on the desktop


I am craeting pdb files in a desktop application. My question has to do 
with what I should do for the uniquie IDs of the records. If I leave them 
as 0, they get filled in when they are hotsynced to the device. But if they 
left at 0 and droped onto the simulator, there is a problem when you 
hotsync the simulator, since all the records have the same ID.

Is there a way around this. Shold I fill in the id at the risk of going 
outside the PalmOS scheme of generating IDs?

thanks
Eric Potter
