 Client-side databases
 =====================
 
-Soledad Client uses `SQLCipher <https://www.zetetic.net/sqlcipher/>`_ for
-storing data. The symmetric key used to unlock databases is chosen randomly and
-stored encrypted with the user's passphrase (see :ref:`storage-secrets` for
-more details).
+These are some important information about Soledad's client-side databases:
 
-:ref:`Documents <document-encryption>` and :ref:`blobs <blobs>` are stored in
-different databases protected with the same symmetric secret.

+The database files currently used in the client-side are:
+
+- ``<user_id>.db``: The database for JSON documents storage.
+- ``<user_id>_blobs.db``: The database for storage of blobs.
+
+Depending on how local databases are configured, you may also find files with
+the same names of the above but ending in ``-wal`` and ``-shm``, which
+correspond to SQLCipher's `Write-Ahead Logging
+<http://www.sqlite.org/wal.html>`_ implementation.
