The database is stored (digikam.db) in the root folder of your photographs, 
but don't worry about it.

When you copy an image with digikam, all metadata including all tags are 
copied to the new image. If you copy with another program like Gimp, this is 
not necessarily the case. 

Go to the settings of digikam to the metadata section, there you can specify 
if metadata shall only be kept in the database or if it should as well be 
stored in the image as Mikolaj said.
