The documentation for DmCreateDatabase() says that only one database with a
specified name can exist (on a specific "card," but there's only one card).
This means that even though applications must register their creator IDs to
prevent conflicts, they can still conflict if they create databases with the
same name. Is that correct? Is there a standard naming convention to avoid
this?
The documentation also recommends calling DmSetDatabaseInfo immediately
after DmCreateDatabase to set the database version number, and there are
other API functions (e.g. DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator) which deal with
the presence of several databases with the same type and creator but
different version numbers. It looks like the intention here is that if I
want to create a new version of my database, I also have to rename it. Is
that right? Is there a standard usage model for database version numbers?
