Problem updating record in database

Question

This is my code:

try {

     myDB = this.openOrCreateDatabase(DB_PATH+"DatabaseName", MODE_APPEND, null);

     ContentValues updateRating = new ContentValues();
     updateRating.put("rating", 5);
     myDB.update(TableName1, updateRating, "id=?", new String[] {Long.toString(1)});

     ContentValues novotes = new ContentValues();
     novotes.put("no_of_votes", 1);
     myDB.update(TableName1, novotes, "id=?", new String[] {Long.toString(1)});
     }
    catch(Exception e) {
     Log.e("Error", "Error", e);
    } finally {
     if (myDB != null)
      myDB.close();
    }

This is the error i am getting:

04-27 14:31:34.026: ERROR/Error(1560): android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: error code 8: **attempt to write a readonly database**

Try to add myDB.open() after myDB = this.openOrCreateDatabase
