I would be interested in a documentation on Developing Database Applications
Using CodeWarrior and Oracle Lite (for beginners). So far, I have not found
any such documentation (not even from the Oracle Website).

Subject: Writing efficient Palm code
I've just released my 1st Palm app, but I have been working as a s/w
developer on embedded industrial control systems for over 30 years. A couple
of the recent ones also happened to be 68K-based -- the same family as the
Palm. These systems have some major things in common with Palm devices:
relatively slow clock speed, no disk, limited memory, and a big list of
features that the customers keep asking you to cram in there. This means
that over the years I've developed a lot of techniques and understanding of
C/68K code generation for improving performance and reducing memory
footprint (sometimes a balancing act).
What I was wondering is if any documents about specific coding techniques
for PalmOS/embedded software have been written already, or if it would be
worth my time to write up a document on this subject. I've done a few
presentations at my place of employment since we're still concerned with
this on our products. Programmers who are used to developing apps for
virtual memory systems such as Windows, Unix, etc. could possibly benefit
from some pointers about what otherwise useful techniques should be avoided
on a Palm (e.g., recursion).
