Database index conversion to Pocket Access
Note Synchronizing and converting Access database files is available only on devices running Windows Mobile software for Pocket PC 2003 and earlier.
- Three types of indexes are converted in the following order:
- Primary key indexes
A primary key index will be converted to a non-primary key index. When a table contains a primary key consisting of multiple fields, the table will not be converted.
- Unique indexes
These indexes are converted to non-unique indexes. When a Unique index consists of more than one field, only the first field is converted.
- Non-unique indexes
When a non-unique index consists of more than one field, it will not be converted.
- Indexes with names longer than 64 characters are converted with truncated names. If an index already exists in a table with that truncated name, the new index will not be converted.
- Indexes are only converted with the attributes of ascending or descending.
- Index titles are converted with case sensitivity retained.
- Indexes for fields that contain information Pocket Access can't interpret (for example, images and OLE objects) will not be converted.
- Fields with more than one index are converted with only one index.
- Fields with a Boolean data type are converted without an index.
