-If you want to create and configure driver yourself you can construct the `AndroidxSqliteDriver` directly.
+on Android and JVM you can pass a `File`:
+
+```kotlin
+Database(
+  AndroidxSqliteDriver(
+    driver = BundledSQLiteDriver(),
+    type = AndroidxSqliteDatabaseType.File(File("my.db")),
+    schema = Database.Schema,
+  )
+)
+```
+
+and on Android you can pass a `Context` to create the file in the app's database directory:
+
+```kotlin
+Database(
+  AndroidxSqliteDriver(
+    driver = BundledSQLiteDriver(),
+    type = AndroidxSqliteDatabaseType.File(context, "my.db"),
+    schema = Database.Schema,
+  )
+)
+```
+
+If you want to provide `OpenFlags` to the bundled or native driver, you can use:
+
+```kotlin
+Database(
+  AndroidxSqliteDriver(
+    createConnection = { name ->
+      BundledSQLiteDriver().open(name, SQLITE_OPEN_READWRITE or SQLITE_OPEN_CREATE)
+    },
+    type = AndroidxSqliteDatabaseType.File("<absolute path to db file>"),
+    schema = Database.Schema,
+  )
