The database file is a binary file(you can visualize it with a hex editor).In this file header you can find ONE AFTER EACH OTHER the information about your database structure.You can access it using a file pointer. NOTE : because the file is a binary (not a char) file you can not have "a series of lines". Take a look also on RandomAccessFile from java api docs.
