the openssl CA "database" usually consists of two files. The location of these files is specified in the openssl.cnf file. The 
files are
   serial   - containing the last issued serial number
   index.txt  - containing the list of all issued, expired and revoked certificates.

As I said, the location of these files is depending on how you set up your temporary CA.
