How to use asset bundle as database instead of PlayerPrefs in unity3d

Question

I am new in unity3d. I normally use PlayerPrefs to store data like scores, coins etc in my game. I am working on a game in which I need to make dynamic database which can be alter by server side.

Can I use asset bundle for it? Can anyone provide me the step by step implementation of database via asset bundle. How can I store integer , list and arrays into asset bundle ?

Is there any other options except asset bundle to make database.

Even a little help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. :-)

AssetBundles are not supposed to be used as databases. From the documentation:

AssetBundles are files which you can export from Unity to contain assets of your choice. These files use a proprietary compressed format and can be loaded on demand by your application. This allows you to stream in content, such as models, textures, audio clips...

So you could create AssetBundles with Unity Pro for your game to download from a server; new levels, character customisations, IAP, etc.

SQLite is more what you like. Many people use it in games. Here is a video tutorial explaining how to use it in Unity.
