I use ThinkDB by Thinking Bytes It's a great DB and it has a desktop companion for Windows.
Version 2.5 allows up to 80 fields per DB.
Supports 21 field types, including text, numeric and multiple joins.
I don't think there are any limits as to the number of DB's you can store. I have a lot of them. Which is good because There are tons of DB's that people have made and posted on Thinkingbytes web site free to download.
It's only about $40.00
I only list all of this info because this next link doesn't mention ThinkDB. It must be an oversight. This next link does a comparison of a few DB's. Some of them cost a little less, but you get what you pay for.
You can also go to places like and look-up what your looking for. If you don't find it there try "What's Related" and find other site that may have Palm Stuff. Also
Hope this helps

After looking closer at the comparison page I mentioned, I noticed that it's a couple of years old. I started looking for the Database called "DB". It's Open Source and can be found at SourceForge. It's up to version 1.0.2 and it looks pretty good so far. It now supports many different data types. Max fields in a new DB is 32. Which in a DB in a Palm is probably a lot.
Think about entering data into 32 fields by hand on a Palm. And that's just for one record, imagine if you have multiple records to fill.
It's still not as good as ThinkDB. But being Open Source it's bound to catch-up quick.
