Export to db or dbs format
I'm new to Zotero and wondering 1) if Zotero can export to a .db or .dbs format, and 2) how does Zotero retain the association with the document files that are attached to individual entries?

What format the database takes, of course, depends on the database. The focus of Zotero's export abilities are bibliographic formats, in line with its main purpose.
Also, .db files are typically just sqlite files (like Zotero's database) -- they're very flexible, so you couldn't just "import" a db format from one database to the other the way you can open a CSV file on different application. But you can open Zotero's sqlite with any standard sqlite reader just like you would .db files.
