I am new to Palm databases. Here's my questions:
1) I need to import about 30,000 records onto a Palm TX. Can anyone recommend a
software tool that I could use to import these records from MS Excel and export
it to a pdb file that the Palm OS will be able to read?
There are plenty of tools for this:

2) My program needs to search through this database of 30,000 records and find
one unique record. Each database record will consist of one unique number. Is
there any way to do this using the DmGetRecord() or DmQueryRecord() functions
and have it cycle through all of the indexes?
It depends what are you looking for: the ID or the content of another
field. In general it is wise to sort the database after the field you
are looking for. If you have more than one field, you will need indexes.
When it is sorted once, there is no need to to cycle through all records.
