ciao!!!
allora:
la classe SQLiteOpenHelper ha come costruttore (Context context, String databaseName, CursorFactory cf, e int Version).
quindi quando tu hai esteso questa classe per creare il tuo helper, il costruttore di questa (che prenderà, per forza di cose, almeno il context attuale) richiamerà con super il costruttore di SQLiteOpenHelper, passando il context appunto, il nome del database, un eventuale CursorFactory (può essere null) e un intero che identifica la versione.
se l'intero passato come parametro è maggiore del numero di versione del db creato precedentemente, questo viene ricreato.
qui il DatabaseHelper di Notepad v3, quello del tutorial di google.

}a quanto ho capito, il metodo di SQLiteOpenHelper fa questo.
se lo sovrascrivi, puoi fargli un po quello che vuoi! (qui elimina una tabella).
spero di essere stato di aiuto!

p.s.
se ho detto qualche cavolata spero di essere perdonato e soprattutto corretto
