As others have said your database should not be within your application's root folder. If you are loading a static database from your bundle (i.e a database preloaded by adding it in xCode) you have to access it by the bundle.

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"mysqlite" ofType:@"sqlite"];

If you are accessing the file from the documents directory (i.e it has been modified or saved).

NSString *fileName = @"mysqlite.sqlite";
NSString *directoryPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];

NSString *path = [directoryPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
