Ok, thanks for the additional info. This is just my take on it, but again, be aware of what Access/PalmSource is doing. Apparently, they agree that the Palm OS (v. 5 and previous) database support is insufficient. They added relational db support to Cobalt (Palm OS 6), but now no one cares about it. So their Linux product will (they say) include SQLite, a simple and easy use Open Source database. It is commonly used with PHP programming as a simpler alternative to MySQL. The complication is that there are rumors that Palm is working on their own "Palm OS on Linux" product, which may not be based on the same Linux distribution as ALP, and may include some other database or none at all, for all the rest of us know at this time. So, I'm just saying, take a good look at SQLite just in case that does turn out to be "the" Palm database that everyone is using in a few years. If you need something sooner, maybe porting it yourself will give you an edge in the market, and make the transition later much more smooth. Again, just some food for thought.
