Where are the project data stored in the local server and how?

Open Source Development

I am using the Dev App Server to run the App Inventor in my device.
And I am planning to store the project data in my own MS SQL Server.
However, I cannot locate the local database in my appinventor folder...
Therefore, I would like to ask where are those project data stored in the local server and which script is used to store them.
Thank you for reading this!

you might want to elaborate, what exactly you are doing... sorry, I don't understand...

are you talking about TInyDB?

Umm... I am not quite sure what TinyDB is since I am a beginner of App Inventor. :sweat_smile:
What I did is following these instructions,
[https://github.com/mit-cml/appinventor-sources],
to start a local service of App Inventor on my Windows 10 machine.

By the local database, I mean the folder that stores all my project data created in the App Inventor.
Some said it was the local.bin under the path [appinventor-sources\appinventor\appengine\build\war\WEB-INF\appengine-generated] but it is an unreadable file.

I'm not sure if this is possible, probably @jis can explain, if this is doable

If you are looking to safeguard your projects (a wise move),
do Project->Export against each of them daily and
save the .aia files in a Dropbox folder.

Information about where data is stored is here:
It's appinventor-sources\appinventor\appengine\build\war\WEB-INF\appengine-web.xml

Switching to storing data in MS SQL Server is not a small change, however.
