I created a db named MY_DATABASE via java code and it worked fine. While running the program, i opened the the file Explorer and found that along with the db that i created i.e; MY_DATABASE there is an extra entry named MY_DATABASE-journal (size: 0) present inside the /data/data/appname/databases folder. I did not created it, then from where did it came and what is its use?
Thanks,
Bunta
SQLite uses an additional file for the rollback journal. You can read an explanation of all the temporary files it uses.
