J2ME: Phone Book for 3,000 records.. please help me

[Sky Rhythm]

Dears..

I have to develop a midlet... Phone book for 3,000 contacts..
the user for this midlet can't modify or add new record.. just list
them and search...
The records contain the flowing information:
1.first name
2.second name
3.family name
4.mobile
5.e-amil
6.state

The thing is what is best way to start with.. I'm thinking...
Is it to possible to have the data in csv format... store every line
into a record store... then retrieve them...
Second thing: is there any limitations for the size?

Please help, because I have to do it..

Why not use LDAP?

You can't do that, you have no file system.

store every line
into a record store... then retrieve them...

That's your only option.

Second thing: is there any limitations for the size?

Yes. The memory of the device, which you don't know in advance.

He can't do that locally on a MIDP platform. He could do it remotely, but
from the phrasing of the question I don't think he wants to do it
remotely.
