<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have this code (below)... my question is: if the database file does NOT exist, which one of these statements creates it? &nbsp;(not the tables, but the actual file 'r64.sdb') &nbsp;Is it the SQLiteConnection statement?<br />

<pre><code id="code-8019574">dbPath = Environment.GetFolderPath (Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);
	        db = Path.Combine (dbPath, &quot;r64.sdb&quot;);
	        
			bool exists = File.Exists (db);  //  check to make sure it exists
			
			conn = new SqliteConnection(&quot;Data Source=&quot; + db);</code></pre>

I have this code (below)... my question is: if the database file does NOT exist, which one of these statements creates it?  (not the tables, but the actual file 'r64.sdb')  Is it the SQLiteConnection statement?

How is the actual database created?

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.
