* A helper class to manage database creation and version management.

* <p>You create a subclass implementing {@link #onCreate}, {@link #onUpgrade} and
* optionally {@link #onOpen}, and this class takes care of opening the database
* if it exists, creating it if it does not, and upgrading it as necessary.
* Transactions are used to make sure the database is always in a sensible state.
*
* <p>This class makes it easy for {@link android.content.ContentProvider}
* implementations to defer opening and upgrading the database until first use,
* to avoid blocking application startup with long-running database upgrades.
*
* <p>For an example, see the NotePadProvider class in the NotePad sample application,
* in the <em>samples/</em> directory of the SDK.</p>
*
* <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> this class assumes
* monotonically increasing version numbers for upgrades.</p>
