I am wondering if it is possible to pick up a database from one computer and
move it over to another and then just plug it back in.

It appears that a database is stored inside of a directory that is named
after the db's OID. The directory contains what I am guessing are
individual files that are also named after various OIDs.

Can such things be picked up the way you would pick up a Microsoft database?
