Data storage isn't the whole picture. Maybe you'd use C++ and OOP for
your GUI, and then revert to the "C++ as a better C" subset when doing
your database I/O. Or, maybe you'd write a straight C GUI, but write a
bunch of classes to wrap your data structures and give each one a
"SaveToDatabase()" member function. But, this isn't a Palm OS issue,
it's a generic program design issue. This isn't the right forum for
those sorts of questions.
For my take on the C vs. C++ debate with respect to Palm OS programming,
see item 1.7 in the FAQ. You may also find the "C/C++ Portability
Guide" article helpful.
