I'm looking for ideas here.  Maybe someone out there has figured this out
before and is willing to share :)

We're C++ programmers and many of the applications we build (non-PalmOS) use
back-end databases for status and configuration data.  We've always build
classes representing a record in a database table with accessor methods for
the fields.  We also have methods to load, update, insert, and delete the
database records.  Basically...

        class DBRec
        {
        public:
                ...

                // accessors
                int id (void) const { return m_id; }
                void id (int i) { m_id = i; }
                ...

                // database manipulators
                bool load (int i);      // populates the object with data from
                                                // the corresponding database record
                                                // (i.e. "select ... where id=i")
                ...
        };

I'm thinking of coming up with such an animal for our PalmOS apps to wrapper
the Dm* calls that we're using.  Any suggestions?  Ideas?  Reasons it won't
work?

TIA,

-Paul
