That is not a requirement for Palm databases. You can put anything you want
into each record (up to about 64KB). Of course, if each record is
different, you also have to store something to distinguish the record type
in each record.

You can store info in an application's Preferences. You can also store info
in Features. However, these are not appropriate for storing the large
amounts of data you typically put into a database.
