the problem is not whether you can write to it, it is WHEN you can
write to it.

you can do it for testing, but if you want to INSTALL a db that way,
then you must first package it with your application, which means the
space is used TWICE.

the alternative is to download it after installation - into the data/
data/YOUR_PACKAGE/databases dir - which is what i do with one of my
apps.

if only we could access a db that is inside the apk.
