Yes, unless you've protected the database against someone else messing with
it. Otherwise the user could go delete the database and you'd have a bad
handle.
And if you're putting it into a prefs record or something, what happens if
that prefs record gets restored onto a new device where the handle is
completely wrong? (You might not be doing this, but it illustrates the
problem for others who might try it...)
