You can specify an explicit path to the SD card in your openOrCreateDatabase() call. e.g.

SQLiteDatabase db = openOrCreateDatabase("/sdcard/myapp/mydb", MODE_PRIVATE, null);

Just make sure to test that /sdcard exists before you start writing to or reading from it.

Databases are by default stored in internal memory. On a real device like the Droid X, it will be stored somewhere /data/data/package.name.here/databases/dbname.extension

Also, look up Context.getDatabasePath(..)
