1/ I think you're confusing the SCP (Super Check Partial) file and the 
database file. To be short, the SCP files (as its name suggests) are 
used for the partial and N+1 proposals, and the database files are used 
for exchange filling.

You can read this for a much more detailed explanation :

2/ Regarding the Stew Perry contest, I suggest :

Copy HF.DTB (or the check partial file you want to use) to 
STEW_PERRY.DTB (note the underscore). This file will be used for the 
partial and N+1 checks. Once you log is opened you can use "Used files" 
item check partial wnd contextual menu to display the file(s) in use. 
Unfortunately, we don't have today more specific SCP public file for 
this contest.

Regarding the database, a public file is available here :

AFAIK, this file has been build by F5IN who gathered various results and 
logs. It includes abt 150 gridsquares.
