Maybe you should get your engineer to post here instead? There are different ways to bundle a file with your app, but all of them require some code modification to the app. You can't just upload a file and hope that the app will pick it app. The Play Store does have the ability to distribute expansion files, but for a few hundred kilobytes it will be easier to bundle the file in the app as an asset or raw resource. Either way, you need to get your programmer to update the app and possibly work on the UI to guide people through the database download/update process.
