From a standing start, I was able to develop an application that stored
just under 700,000 contacts in a read only, fast, searchable database in
just 16MB.
700,000??!!??
Dear me, I can't help but think you don't really need them all... :-)
Not sure whether I will be able to do the same using the Windows mobile OS.
Yes, using .NET is easy for Delphi people, even if you have to learn C#, so
writing the app is OK. How fast it would be with 700,000 records is another
question. I can't imagine your conduit runs like lightning if they're all in RAM
in a 16M database, but getting them onto a PPC is not going to be quick either.
If you aren't syncing with SQL Server, PPCs are a PITA to get data on to and off
of. MS added syncing as an afterthought (and then only using SQL ServerCE with
SQL Server replication or RDA - which requires IIS as well as having SQL Server
licensing issues). Using XML is etc is possible, but very slow. I'm having
trouble with far fewer records than that.
I use PocketStudio too, BTW
Cheers,
