It seems that you have this Palm
database thing all confused.
The Palm database system has
nothing to do with the standard
database of Access or the like, other
than it is a collection of records.
The PdbTools you are using, I believe
is meant for the db program, which is
a free database program
It started as a CSV file and then I converted it to a
PDB with pdbtools desktop tool.
The csv file was two columns... word and definition.
when I run the program in debug mode, with
breakpoints, it gets a record at the index I supply
but nothing is displayed in the text field for the

Roger,
what is the clue behind the 10k limit?
But a warning... You should avoid high record counts! Although you
can
either.
Thanks

Thanks for the idea... to see if I understand this
correctly, mainly the index counting in the PDB... is

Hi,
I meant a general index of all the words in the file (like an index in teh
back of a book), sorry. NOT the record's index in the files system...

Roger,

But a warning... You should avoid high record counts! Although you
can have 64K records, you should avoid getting significantly over
10K. If you need more records then start treating each PDB record
as a block and put multiple actual

I think I almost have this DB thing working... I have
the db open with
// get the handle to the record and set busy bit
recordHandle = DmQueryRecord(gDatabase, dbIndexNum);
now how to I get the text out of this recordHandle?
the record consists of the word and then the
Get text with MemHandleLock... gives you all data in the record.

It appears as though I have the record, how to I get
the text for the second column (if you will, I know
there are no columns) but the first thing is the word
the second should be the definition. How do I get
that definition piece? Is this recordHandle a
structure and I can get the second
The record is however you have it structured when it's created :-)
What tool did you use to make it? If you made it yourself you should know
the structure.

I created the PDB on my desktop of the words and their
definition. How do I get the index? Am I making this
too hard? Is the first one index zero or index one?
and then they go up from there?
Is it a hex index or is the ID or index simply the
number 0 or 1,,, etc.?

Hi,
You;d make the index yourself...
This is a little ugly as I can't try it myself (mostly pseudocode):
char* index[5]
{
word1,
word2,
word3,
word4,
word5
};
This could be the first record in your database. You can pretty easily go
through a list of strings like this and find

I have also read about unique Id and index. are these
the same thing or different?

Hi all, I am trying to create a vocabulary type program, which has a series of
screens that have select triggers on them, which are the vocabulary words. I
want to search the database for the description based on what select
trigger(vocabulary word) they pick.
I have seen there are search
Hi,
IMO, you'd ave to roll your own if you wanted to do a text search... In my
opinion, it would be easier to keep an index of the vocabulary words and
goto that record, directly.
