Hi,
I use a linux based PDA (the Zaurus from Sharp). There are no good, open
source databases for this device so I'm thinking of cross-compiling
postgresql for the ARM processor and getting it to run on the Zaurus. I
need to do this because I have a 150MB Access database that I would like to
take with me (I'll figure out some way to port the data once I get postgres
up and running).
My PDA has 32MB of RAM (well more like 16 with the way Sharp allocates it)
and I use a 256MB FLASH memory card which sort of looks like a hard drive on
the PDA. I know postgresql will run in about 8MB of RAM so I think I should
be ok on this front but I'm wondering about the data residing in FLASH.
Sure I'm prepared for a huge performance hit but aside from that what else
should I expect?
Any thoughts you guys might have are appreciated!
-Al
