3- Browse operations

Introduction

With CPDB you can browse your databases in any direction, with very simple functions.

To browse your database simply use this example :

// Read the first record
err = CPDB_ReadFirst(mydbHandle);
while (err == 0)
{
  // Work on the record here
  // ...
  // Go to the next record
  err = CPDB_ReadNext(mydbHandle);
}

The loop will end when CPDB_ReadNext return an error, you must verify this error, it must be a CPDB_ERR_EOF error. You can browse in the inverse direction by using CPDB_ReadLast and CPDB_ReadPrevious functions, the error will be CPDB_ERR_BOF.

To browse page by page, use the CPDB_SeekForward and CPDB_SeekBackward functions. This example seek 10 records in one operation :

err = CPDB_SeekForward(mydbHandle, 10);

Note ; if the end (or begin) of the file is reached, the read operation is canceled, you must do a CPDB_ReadFirst (or Last) to complete the operation.

A any time it is possible to know if the last browse operation have succeded, use the CPDB_IsOut function :

Boolean boolIsOut; err = CPDB_IsOut(iHandle, &boolIsOut);

If boolIsOut contain true, the last browse operation have failed, and no record is currently readed.

Library

CPDB.net Library

This PalmOS library is compiled in C. It is provided with its .h file and documentation.

The library can be used by all applications developed with CodeWarrior, Falch.net or PRC-Tools.

Included :
Generic conduit for CPDB.net and CPDBWizard

The generic conduit CPDBConduit allows to convert a PC database in a CSV-like format into a Palm database (CPDB format).

CPDBWizard enables you to describe your data bases and generates for you the source code necessary to their exploitation.
