The hidden attribute is used to hide applications (or PQAs on the VII)
from the main view of the launcher. There is no way to prevent a
database from being deleted. If you give your database the same creator
ID as your application (which is what you should be doing anyway), then
the app and DB will be grouped together on the delete screen, so the
user can't delete the DB without deleting the app (although this can be
bypassed with a program like ZCatalog).
