You shouldn't be keeping the dbID and card number in long-term storage,
because they're not guaranteed to be valid if the database is deleted.
Think of the dbID like a pointer in that sense... there's no way for the
system to tell you that the ID is invalid, and sometimes there's no way for
the system to know that one you pass to it is bad.

You'll have to save the database name, if you want a permanent way to point
to a database.  Sometimes saving the creator and type will be sufficient,
but remember that there can be multiple databases with the same type and
creator.
