You should use DmNewHandle() to create your new handle.

These steps are correct.

Your concern is well-founded. That's why you should use DmNewHandle().

SortInfo block question

[Brad Figler]

I have a quick question about initially setting the sort info block for a
database.

Are these steps correct?

// Assuming an open database
1.  Create memory handle using MemHandleNew()
2.  Convert memory handle to localID via MemHandleToLocalID
3.  Pass localID to DmSetDatabaseInfo().

I think this is correct, but I am a little concerned because doesn't
MemHandleNew give me a handle to the dynamic heap?  Does passing in the
local ID copy the data to the data storage heap?   Or does it just set
chunks owner to the data storage heap?  Or am I completely wrong?

Thanks,

Brad
