Palm databases must have unique names. The types and creators don't matter.
I think you can install two versions of an application with the same creator
ID if you give them different database names. Note that the database name is
NOT the same as the filename. If you don't specify the database name in
CodeWarrior, it will use the filename, but without the ".prc" extension.
If you have two apps with the same creator ID on a device, the Launcher will
use the one with the largest version number. The Info dialog will show the
total size of all databases with the same creator ID, including both
versions of the app and any other (data) databases.
Generally, most developers don't change an application database name for new
versions. This means that installing a new version overwrites the old
version. This is what most users want.
