I've never seen any of the playground databases provided for downloading. But this particular database is small enough that you could easily re-create it by copy/pasting the columns from the playground. You could paste into "insert" statements or perhaps into a spreadsheet that you could export.

A few years ago I posted a method for converting a larger database more directly in an answer to this other question. But it's a bit tricky, and probably not worth the effort for this small data set.

Oh, no. I think this is for like storing login credentials. What you want, I believe is what they call uh file transfer protocol um ftp. You're looking for ftp applications.
