What should decide this is how the records relate to each other. If there will be only one date-weight record for each person, then you should combine it into 1 record. If there may be several date-weight records for each person, then you definitely want 2 databases.The question is how do I handle the 2 types of data records in my database? Do I put both type of records in the same database or is it better to use 2 databases? One for the person information and one for the records associated with that person? I am new to Palm programming and haven't run across any examples yet that show this type of data structure.
It sounds like you might want the second case. It's possible to mix different kinds of records into a single database but it's a lot of added complexity for virtually zero benefit.
