How to Make PDB Documents

PDB documents can be used on Palm Pilots.

Program Database, or PDB, documents are database files that are used by Microsoft Visual Studio, Palm Pilot software and Quicken. The data stored in these documents depends on the program that created it. For example, Visual Studio stores debug information for programming projects using PDB documents. A very easy way to create a new PDB document is to use the free software, Open Office. You can then define your own database format using a specialized format.
