If you're talking about the RPM database, it's in in "/var/lib/rpm" and
contained in the files "__db.001", "__db.002" and "__db.003".

If you're referring to the yum databases, they're in
"/var/cache/yum/<repo-name>".

That's all contained in the "Files" part of the man pages for rpm and
yum.  "man" is also your friend.  In Linux, you have a LOT of friends!
