/**
* A helper class to manage database creation and version management.
*
* 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.
*
*
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.
*
*
For an example, see the NotePadProvider class in the NotePad sample application,
* in the samples/ directory of the SDK.
*
* Note: this class assumes
* monotonically increasing version numbers for upgrades.
