My application needs a whole bunch of small databases to contain the
information it references and edits. Obviously, all of these will have my
app's creator code, but I'm not sure whether to differentiate them by type
or just name. My first impulse was that each could have a different type and
I could get at them that way, but I've been getting some vibes that this
isn't the correct Palm way of doing things. I haven't seen a discussion
anywhere (certainly not in the Palm OS Companion *cough*) that says exactly
how database types are meant to be used. Can anyone suggest what the "right"
way to do this is, or point me at a discussion of how to use database types?
(Since Palm didn't think to create a typename for database types, it's
useless to search the archives for this. Search on "type" or "database type"
and of course I get a list of every article that mentions datatypes,
databases, and perhaps, somewhere, database types.)
