        MySQLiteOpenHelper helper = new MySQLiteOpenHelper();
        SQLiteDatabase database = helper.getReadableDatabase();
        myPath = database.getPath();

        myPath = DB_PATH + dbName;
    }

    checkDB = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(myPath, null, SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READWRITE);
    checkDB.disableWriteAheadLogging();
