 * 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,

 * <p>For an example, see the NotePadProvider class in the NotePad sample application,

 * monotonically increasing version numbers for upgrades.</p>
