http://androidforbeginners.blogspot.com/2011/11/error-has-occurred-when-working-with.html

That's not a lot of 6 MB photos. The problem ...

Sunday, January 24, 2010. Creating multiple sqlite database tables in Android. Most of the Android database examples you will find on the web will usually contain only one table to demonstrate the basic database concepts.
