Normally it's a file called  SchedulesDirect.DB in the hidden .xmltv
directory in the home directory of the user that ran
tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite --manage-lineups.

So if you used the mythtv user it will be in
/home/mythtv/.xmltv/SchedulesDirect.DB


The actual location of the database can be set in the .xmltv config file
for the source. This is mine for a source called FreeviewHD

$ cat FreeviewHD.xmltv

database=/home/mythtv/.xmltv/SchedulesDirect.DB
lineup=GBR-1000040-DEFAULT
mythtv-categories=enabled

There's some ASCII art here with just the additions for XMLTV (the SQLite version):
