The simplest way is to rename the default library to .bak or something, then rename your file to tool_database.dat.

You cannot browse to the tool database file.
This is determined by your configuration, such as cam_general.
Here the database connection (DBC) is defined for the tool library - basically how to access tools.

The best way is to name your libraries tool_database.dat and replace the files provided out of the box.
