What is the format of db file and how to open it?

A Db file is generally a file used by software to store data, which is equivalent to a database. Each software has its own storage format, that is, the arrangement of data. Some software data files have the suffix DB.

For example, Thumbs.db under Win7 system is a thumbnail data file. So the db file is not a specific file format.

Db files can be opened with Notepad and Microsoft Office Access, and can also be imported into database software such as UltraEdit, foxbase, SQL Server and powerbuilder.

Extended data:

If you use Notepad or Notepad++ to open the db file, it will display garbled code, and modifying the code will not solve the problem. If you open it with UltraEdit, you can see binary data, but it doesn't make sense.

There are two correct methods:

1. Open it with sqlitespy, which is a tool similar to Navicat. It is light and easy to use. You can view the database file with the extension sqlite3/sqlite/db3/db, and create a new database/database URI/ new SQL database.

2. Open it with SqliteStudio, select database from the menu bar, click Add Database, select Sqlite3 as the type, and select db file as the file. After double-clicking the table, there are structures, data, constraints, indexes, triggers and DDL.
