I put everything in a db, and I have default settings coded into the app to populate the db. You don't need Andre's library to use DB's with LC (and I do not). db access in LC is very easy (but that is not to say that his library won't make it easier). In fact, db access in LC is so easy that I don't use files or extra stacks for anything. The only time I do use read/write files is when I am sending them to the cloud or retrieving them from the cloud. This is a very effective way to do data transport to and from mobile.
