How many bytes do you think it takes to store 'n', 'a', 's', 'r', 'i',
'\0' ?
The size of MyRecordType is 3 bytes; two Chars, followed by one UInt8.

That should be obvious now.

I expect that there really is an upper limit on how many chars will be
in any name field in your database. Therefore, why not change your
structure definition to that size. For example,
typedef struct {
Char name[30];
UInt8 reserved;
} MyRecordType;
