palantir database oddity?

palantir database oddity? - 21/09/2005 00:38

I'm using the palantir jar to import a csv and export a pdb. Until a few days ago, all was well. The database I have now seems to be ignored by palantir, which happily exits as if there's no database on the PDA... because there's not. I send with bluetooth, it asks if I want to accept, I say yes, and it disappears. I expected something with creator EmPC to exist. If I send the file named something other than foo.pdb (well, anything.pdb) I get an "unknown type" error, so it's clearly capable of giving me an error.

I'm still experimenting, but it's reproducible on another device.

Ah, neat. When I use the web browser to fetch it online, it works. Same file. WTF?

Hrm... Bluetooth sync problem, then. Does it work via BT for other pdbs?

Well, I have none to push right this second. But it worked via bluetooth for this one a few days ago.

Ok. So, this is interesting. It's a size problem... sort of

The database is here, 1.2mb. When I download it from the web browser it's now too large. The device has 11mb free. Turns out if I push a small database to it, it works, via bluetooth as well as via a web "sync". So, why would a 1.2mb database be "too large" for 11mb?
