How to update sqlite db file after deployment the app in windows phone store

Question

I have deployed the 1st version of my wp8 in wp store and now i want to deploy the update version of it. Though I know the process of update deployment, but my concern is the sqlite file which doesn't get updated.

Here is the scenario, I have sqlite file in the app where user can store config and setting, in new version I added extra tables and I want to these tables should be reflected in the the update without affecting user settings and config.

What points I should consider to take care of this issue?

Thanks!

Assuming the data in the sqlite database is static you can give the database a new name and submit it with the updated app. One first run copy the new database to isolated storage and delete the old version of the database to save space.

If the user is inputting data into the database you will have to include code to modify the database structure on the first run and insert any records into the new table
