We always recommend “db” folder which is created with ‘www’ or ‘wwwroot’ folder for .mdb file (MS-Access database).

Here are the reasons why ‘db’ folder is used for .mdb file.

1. Read/Write Access: We place database file in ‘db’ folder because system user have read-write access of this folder while folders like ‘www’ have read-only access.

2. Security: No one can directlyaccess the file inside the ‘db’ folder, on the other hand, files inside the www can be easily accessed with http protocol.
