Your post doesn't contain any further information about the process and the file formats. So I assume that you are using the ODBC database parser add-in to extract translatable content from a database. This add-in is based on rather simple configurations and there is no setting available to copy the original database or to store the translations into a different database.
As databases are not quite common to store software UI strings the capabilities are limited. But users can download the freely available SDL Passolo SDK from the SDL AppStore and develop their own solutions.
