Last time this was discussed on this forum, the
decision was that the "standard" is to append the
crid.  (See "Palm OS Programming: the Developer's
Guide," chapter 9 - Databases, which says "Developer
Support recommends that you name your data-base
with two parts, the database name followed by a hyphen
(-) and your creator code. An application with a
creator ID of 'Neil' that created two databases might
name them: Database1-Neil, Database2-Neil")  

If you search the archives, however, you'll find a
dedicated group of prependers.  Also, you may have
noticed that Palm, Inc. does not follow its own
advice.  (For example, the Memo Pad database is called
"MemoDB".)
