Spare memory went from 800K to 5.7M, merely by partitioning the data
as you suggested. I'm taking baby steps and am packing just 20
records at a time.
I would like to be able to determine how many actual records are in
a packed pdb. So I need a definitive way to determine the size of a
record. The number of actual records in the last pdb record could
be determined by: PdbRecordSize / ActualRecordSize;
DmQueryRecord returns a MemHandle, and I thought about calling
MemHandleSize. But I'm not sure if this is accurate. I need to
know the size of the last record (which packs several actual
records). Any help?
MemHandleSize is very accurate, but to use it assumes that you only
allocated as much memory as you required on the last block.
So ultimately how you write out the last partial block determines how
you can figure out how many records are present in it.
