…
## Create pathnames:
put specialfolderpath("resources“) & "/your_db_file.db" into tSource
put specialfolderpath("documents“) & "/your_db_file.db" into tTarget

## Now copy that file, but only if not yet present!
if there is not a file tTarget then
  put url("binfile:" & tSource) into url("binfile:2 & tTarget)
end if
...
Now access your database via: -> specialfolderpath("documents“) & "/your_db_file.db"

On mobile specialfolderpath("engine") is the same as specialfolderpath("resources“)
but get used to specialfolderpath("resources“), since this is crossplatform! :-)
