Another thing that was glossed over is that if possible, you might want to avoid having 2000 records in a DB. While it will work fine, it can lead to long sync times (especially on DB creation). I'm not sure it's feasible in your case, but consider having more than one data-record per Palm record. This will of course create issues with sorting, etc, but if you're concerned about Hotsync time (like you implied), you might consider it.
