John, you'll probably get a better answer on the AppForge mailing list --
the concentration of AF people is there. See
http://www.egroups.com/group/AppForge for details.
Note, Palm's PDB isn't a database in the sense you're thinking. Its really
a list of arbitrary binary objects. The layout of the PDB record is
entirely freeform; its up to the user of the PDB to set his or her own
layout style.
I don't know how AF implements strings -- I'd assume they could be unlimited
length, but its really a subject for their support FAQs or their manual.
