Database types are 4-byte values, typically written as character constants. For example, 'appl' is the type of all application databases. Your other databases can have any type except 'appl'.

The type and creator concepts came from Mac OS. - Danny Epstein - Applied Thought No Palm is an Island - try BeamBooks http://www.appliedthought.com/beambooks -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palm.com/devzone/mailinglists.html -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palm.com/devzone/mailinglists.html
