IIRC the original build rules for DB_INSTALLS allow the source path to point into a support module or other external directory, whereas the DB rules were designed for generating and copying files from the local application only. Thus you can use DB_INSTALLS += $(ASYN)/db/asynRecord.db to copy that file from your Asyn module into the IOC's $(TOP)/db directory.

The DB rules might have changed more recently, but there are other variables like BIN_INSTALLS and LIB_INSTALLS which still follow the original design, for example I use BIN_INSTALLS to copy the binary for the CA Gateway into an application that runs on a host which can't see our support module directories.
