I would recommend using CodeWarrior for Palm version 8, Enterprise Edition.
It offers a combination of Palm OS Application development for the handheld
side along with the Palm Conduit Development for the desktop side. In addition,
the Enterprise Edition ships with third-party database and client-server
software including SQL Anywhere from iAnywhere, XTNDConnect Mobile from Extended
Systems, and Wireless Database Access from Palm.
These database solutions will give you the option of incorporating various
mobile database abilities to your Palm applications. For example, Palm Wireless
Database Server allows remote access to a SQL Server database, and iAnywhere
lets you embed SQL statements within your code while giving you a nice
relational database on the device. These mobile databases integrate with
traditional relational database systems through ODBC as well.
