I was following the example set by Neil Rhodes in "Palm Programming - The
Developer's Guide". He says:
In order to guarantee that your database name is unique, you need to include
your creator as part of your database name. Developer Support recommends
that you name your database with two parts, the database name followed by a
hyphen (-) and your creator code. An application with a creator of "Neil"
that created two databases might name them:
Database1-Neil
Database2-Neil
