well, if you already completed a database course, No. Just keep in mind .db files are use for the purpose of the course only. In truth .db or .sql are just files generated by a database like phpmyadmin. These files are just another way to store database infomaton offline. it's what makes it easier to back up databases. the .db file are being loaded as any other file from top and down the last "database" action would their for be at the bottom of the file and thus the server take the .db as the state of that "database". hope i didn't lost you there. if so I'm sorry
