There is a very long discussion about this about a year ago. The consensus,
if there really was one, was that the database name should come first.
(Though various arguments were given for doing it the other way around, or
for not using a compound name at all.) To quote from Neil Rhodes (p. 142 of
"Palm Programming - The Developer's Guide"): "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."
