Limits on database/file sizes?

[Craig Evans]

OK, so the Sharp phone has a file limit of 96 (total - not just in directories) and the Kyocera similarly has a file limit of 256.

Is there a restriction on how large a single file can be on these devices? Is a database considered a file in this context, or does it have a seperate restriction on the size the database can be.

Yes there are limits on file sizes that are imposed by the OEM. For e.g., Sharp Z-800 has a limit of 200KB.

Database also faces similar limitations. However, if you check the return values for errors, you should know when your writes to the database are failing.

BREW Support OK, so are these limits available anywhere? What are the file limitations on these devices?

So, the Sharp Z800 has a file size limit of 200k, and a physical file count limit of 96.

What are the physical file size limitation of the Kyocera (or the other devices released in SE Asia)? We now know the file count limitation to be 256, but what about file size??

Are there guidelines available that specify what an OEM must be able to support as a minimum? Until developers know this type of information we are going to continually butt our heads against a wall trying to pass code certification across multiple devices.

Are these limitations different between the 1.0.18 and 1.1.18 SDK's?

We are asking these questions off OEM's. We will incorporate in these in the Phone Details when we get this information.

Hmm, How come I was able to download a 250KB-500KB file to the Z-800 phone?

Does the limit of number of files (96 for Sharp, 256 for Kyocera) include the directory? or just the file?

Thanks,
