Has anyone created their db.db file? Any suggestions on a best approach.
Here's mine for now. I am going to create a fixed length text file for all my actual data. I am writing a MakeData class that will read this text file in, and create a db.db file with all the meta data put into it, then all the data put into it.

Hi Mark,
I am also doing the beta exam.
I created a text file containing all the schema details (no.of fields, fieldname, length), sample records and created a file called "DBConfig.java" which will read the above and create the database file.
I got a mail from Evelyn that the database filename should be "db.db". I am not sure where to put the "db.db" file?! Any advice?
And, I have a doubt in the db file. My file has a data called "cookie". Why is this used for?! I have stored a value called 1000 (random number) in the database. Can this field ever be used at all?!
(I was thinking of a scenario where multiple db.db files will be present and a master db.db will contain a mapping between the cookie value and each db.db. The user selects the type of data to access and the application will choose the respective db.db using the master db.db. I thought this is outside the requirement of the beta spec ! so, I am not going to implement this!)
