Because if it's problem of ultralite I can do nothing with it (at the moment) :-( ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Subject: Re: Ultralite & sloooow PalmOS Emulator > From: Brian Mathis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2000 17:14:36 -0400 (EDT) > X-Message-Number: 64 > I'm going to take a guess here that the database you are syncing contains many records. Each record cotains overhead, and requires a separate write when syncing. If you were able to pack many smaller records into larger ones, the speed of the sync would increase dramatically. Yes, you are right.... I have about 10000 records (in 1.2mb long final pdb file). But it's hard (read very difficult) to change, it would be nice to have ultralite engineers add some support for it (batch mode or something). But thanks for reply anyway ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Subject: Re: Ultralite & sloooow PalmOS Emulator > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2000 14:45:55 -0700 > X-Message-Number: 66 > > What makes you think it's slow?

But it doesn't matter now, because it turned out to be ultralite problem (too much records). But I will try to make suggested comparisons when I will get the real palm again and if it will show something interesting I will send you results. ------------------------------------- -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/
