The databases are stored as SQLite files in /data/data/PACKAGE/databases/DATABASEFILE where:

PACKAGE is the package declared in the AndroidManifest.xml (tag "manifest", attribute "package")
DATABASEFILE is the name passed when you call the SQLiteOpenHelper constructor as explained here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#db

You can see (copy from/to filesystem) the database file in the emulator selecting DDMS perspective, in the File Explorer tab.
