You can put entries in the xxxApp/Db/Makefile, and then make will copy the .db files to the TOP/db directory. But you don't have to do this if you don't want to, you can have the IOC directly load the .db files out of the xxxApp/Db directory. The latter is what I do, because I deploy EPICS on sites where they don't have a build system, and so can't run make. So we just use the .db files in the Db/ directory.

I'm sorry, I don't quite follow, where do I put the .db files that will
be loaded by the ioc? Do I have to put something in one of the Makefiles?
