general query about database

A few months back I asked about reducing the saize of my database. I am now wanting to know a bit more about the database generally. What is it storing; is it directly readable/editable; can it be copied/moved as part of a new XnView installation; is there an FAQ discussing the database?

Addendum: I have noticed that the database time attribute is about 70 minutes ahead of current system time. When I make a change to the databse, such as adding a new image, the date modified attribute on the database is updated, not to current system time, but 74 minutes ahead! Any comments on that?

xnview.db stores thumbnails + rating & colour label
category.db stores categories
