Hi,
When i create a user account, fill the fields with some value and save() it in the database file myfile.db for example, the file doesn't show any change in size. So how do i know if i'm actually saving it and can later access the values? Or is there another problem i should deal with first? THANK YOU!!

Because save complains loudly if it didn't work. It's kind of like

crossing the street: if you make it without feeling pain, you can be
sure you weren't hit by a car. There's no need to check your clothes for
any evidence of the contrary.
The reason database files do not grow in size on every new record is
because some space is pre-allocated and space previously occupied by
deleted records is reused if it fits to prevent large holes (meaning
more seeks).
