What is DB3 file?
The DB3 format (or SQLite Database File) is a self-contained platform-independent database created by the open source SQLite Software library. In its simplest form, it's a single cross-platform application file, and can be used to store up to 140TB of data in an efficient format. It avoids additional server items, large databases and the associated licensing fees. [ ⏩ ] DB3 file extension
What is SQL file?
The SQL file extension is most commonly associated with databases created in Microsoft Access. It stands for Structured Query Language and can store records, tables, and other data. SQL files are commonly used to help create and maintain online databases that can be used to store certain kinds of data such as schedules, product inventories, and customer data.

How to convert the file from DB3 to SQL?
To successfully convert the DB3 file to SQL, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.DB3). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case SQL (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than SQL).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. DB3 to SQL. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting DB3 files to SQL files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension SQL, while before this step we had the DB3 file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new SQL file, or not.
