What devices have you tested HotSync on?30000 records is not near 65535 records? But if you need to go beyond that then there are quite alot of ways (which may evetually serve useless since there is some hint that they are going to start using a DWORD instead of a WORD for the indexes and for record sizes.) to accomplish the task. The way we have done so is by splitting our databases apart per 65K records, then when loading a database, have a flag in the app section to load a chain of databases, then use the HIBYTE of the DWORD record index to specfiy some database index (assuming you use an array of open databases) and the LOBYTE portion to determine the actual record index.This method works well because if/when they change this index to a dword, the code should have no problems being adjusted to work. I'm still lost as to why people are complaining about the number of records and hot sync issues.
IIRC, Palm OS 3.5 helped some with the time, and Palm OS 4.0 helped a lot. Try syncing 30000 records to a Palm OS 3.1 device in a PDB file, and it will take a very long time.
