/** An RMDatabaseCache object represents disk-based caching of map tile images. This cache is meant for longer-term storage than RMMemoryCache, potentially for long periods of time, allowing completely offline use of map view.
*
*   @warning The database cache is currently based on [SQLite](http://www.sqlite.org), a lightweight, cross-platform, file-based relational database system. The schema is indepenendent of and unrelated to the [MBTiles](http://mbtiles.org) file format or the RMMBTilesSource tile source. */
