Okay, I've now downloaded the Palm OS Programmer's API Reference. Found a database class, and come to certain conclusions that I would like to ask about:
The section from the reference is as follows: ------------------------------------ DmCreateDatabase Function ^TOP^ Purpose Create a new database on the specified card with the given name, creator, and type. Declared In DataMgr.h Prototype Err DmCreateDatabase ( UInt16 cardNo, const Char *nameP, UInt32 creator, UInt32 type, Boolean resDB ) Parameters → cardNo The card number to create the database on. → nameP Name of new database, up to 32 ASCII bytes long, including the null terminator (as specified by dmDBNameLength). Database names must use only 7-bit ASCII characters (0x20 through 0x7E). → creator Creator of the database. → type Type of the database. → resDB If true, create a resource database. ---------------------------------------- 1. Can the ROM emulator simulate a device with a memory card, permitting me to use these API calls? 2. Will these database API calls cease to be functional in the Cobalt OS? 3. If one is going to create a program that creates large databases, memory cards are the way to go? 4. How does one determine the card number (is this a card serial number, or a slot designator in the device)?
