Load Database Once

[KennyR]

Hello again...I was wondering if there is a way to check if a database exists when opening an application. I have a pre-defined SQLite database that has around 150 items that load into the database when the user opens the program, but it seems like it bogs down the program on start-up since it has to load the database items each time it starts. I would like to have the program load the database when the user opens the program for the first time, but not after that...any ideas? By the way, this is a simple inventory control program for the iPad.
