Why do I keep the PM DB in my PM folder which is inside my Applications folder? I don't know. If CTM didn't intend for it to be there, I must have done it years ago. It works fine there and runs no risk of being deleted. When PM gets updated, I move the new components to the PM folder and never have had a problem. In fact I think, when I was on a trip, I moved the entire PM folder to my PowerBook and used it there briefly. The simple answer: It works for me and has for years.
