Palm devices use two types of database files: PRC and PDB (i.e., .prc and .pdb). PRC is used for Palm OS databases that are application programs, and stores resources of the application, while the PDB (Pilot Database) is used for Palm OS databases that contain only data. Both databases have a unique key that is unique for each application. These databases can be manipulated like stream reading and stream writing. It contains an attribute bit called the Backup Bit. Setting this bit indicates that no custom conduit will be backing up the database and that the database should be backed up during the HotSync process. If you create a database on the Palm Pilot and set the Backup Bit, you will find a copy of the database in PDB format in the Backup directory on the computer with which the HotSync was performed.
This application reads a CSV or an XML file and creates a .pdb file.
