Are there any other major database programs besides MobiSystems Database, SmartListToGo and HanDBase?

Feature set comprising major would consist of
- filters
- forms
- import/export features
- reports
- anything else that one can think of that would seperate the program from the likes of MobileDB or Pilot-DB.

If so, what is it that makes them great and on which device do you use them?

Filemaker make a mobile version for Palm. Never tried it, so have no idea what it's capable of.

Anyone here ever used it?

The best one out of the ones you've named is Smartlist. There are a few small ones that didn't get named. Splashshopper, SplashID, but most of them aren't relational databases.

Pilot-DB did a pretty good job for me but I abandoned using it for SmartList to Go. I use it on a TX

Here's hoping that Dataviz continues to develop it; it seems they have done nothing to it since they purchased it.

Thanks.

I opted to go ahead and keep with MobiSystems Database. For me it has the best overall feature set:
- custom forms
- good queries
- relational capabilities
- good embedded image handling
- onboard import/export of CSV

Dataviz does not seem to have been doing to much updating of anything as of late. I use Documents To Go Total Office (Beyond Contacts, Doc2Go, Smartlist2GO) and haven't seen anything new for months.

They are good products, so I hope they continue development.

I really wish there was a better way in Smartlist to integrate multiple list into one.

I'm using SmartList To Go. Excellent program...I only wish there wasn't a limit on the number of fields you could create.

I've used JFile (www.jfile.com) for several years - it's flat file rather than being a full relational database, but does all I've really needed from a Palm application. I've got SmartList, too, but I've not yet had any need for features that aren't in JFile.

My $0.02 worth.
