This is the first case where the db file is "optional." All the others
have been created by default for ages now, and nork was simply copying
the existing code (including the "make sure" bit).

As he pointed out, I asked him to make the prompt unconditional since
the db file is small, and harmless if not being used. Making it
conditional now is a pointless micro-optimization that will have to be
removed down the road when having/needing it becomes the default.
