Put it on the SD card (assuming you have one) if you possibly can. Somewhere in here is a thread where I tested the durability of those cards by running them through washing machines, dishwashers, and boiling them in salt water. Those cards are tough. Only the last test destroyed the card.

SD card...what is that, i am not sure about that..

anyway,thanks for replying me but, is there any other ways other than the SD card.

SD cards are small removeable memory cards. I have not seen a PDA without one, but I suppose they must exist. Aside from that, what you need is a folder that will be sure to exist. I would suggest you store the DB in the program folder that your program is stored in if that is the case.
