To be able to have data preserved on database, first we need to make sure that simulator can simulate SDCard, so that we can run our application with database. For this purpose first create a folder on your file system. Then run the simulator and from the top menu choose: Simulate > Change SD Card... .<br/>

Then Mount Directory, and select the folder you just created. Every time you restart the simulator, before running the app you need to make sure that the folder is mounted as SD Card. later on you will see that the database file gets created there.<br/>
