ExgDBRead can handle large files. However, it allocates all the records or
resources up front, before it reads the data to put in them. So if the data
is coming out of a stream via a destructive read, you'll still have a
temporary space requirement that's about twice as big as the final space
requirement. Also, ExgDBRead returned an error in Palm OS 3.5.0 if the
database doesn't have any records or resources. This was fixed in 3.5.2.
