I would think the process of shipping a data file with an app is a fair question for this list. What I do (and I think is recommended) in my iPhone app is to take your default sqlite file (with the tables created) and add it as a resource to your project in Xcode. I take this a slight step farther and have the sql commands be issued as part of a build script to create the file (that way I can easily modify it later if necessary). Then when your app launches, you check for the existence of the data file in the location your app would put it (such as a folder in the users's ~/Library/Application Support/YourAppName) and if it's not there, copy it from your application's resources to that directory.
