Check the database.hxx header -- this is where the database is 
opened/created. As you will see, there we use the argc/argv
version of the odb::sqlite::database constructor. And as Section
18.2, "SQLite Database Class" explains, in this case the database
name is specified with the --database command line option. So if
you run your example like this:

./driver --database c:\mydb.sqlite

Then the database file will be created in c:\ and called mydb.sqlite.

Also note that there are other versions of the constructor. Specifically,
you can pass the database file path to create/open directly, without using
the command line.
