Each released Palm app is required to have a unique creator ID. You can
apply for one at http://oasis.palm.com/devzone/creatorid/ . The database id
is usually created by appending the creator ID to the database name, thus
allowing one app to have more than one database. (For example, if my app's
creator ID is 'joeB', it might have databases "dbOne-joeB" and
"dbTwo-joeB".) Once you have a creator ID, you specify it on the PalmRez
Post Linker settings page in CodeWarrior. (I don't know where you specify
it if you are using gcc or other tools.)
