What is FDB file?
The FDB (Database) file extension is a database file format associated with Firebird and InterBase software. It is primarily used to store and query data for a wide range of applications such as inventory, billing, library databases, and so on. The content of an FDB file may include indexes, data records, field definitions, and stored procedures. [ ⏩ ] FDB file extension
What is DB file?
The DB file extension is typically related to database files created by a database program. Data stored in DB files varies depending on which software is used to make and access DB files. In general, DB files store structured and often large amounts of data and can be processed easily with certain programs. How to Open a DB File Because there are many different programs that can be used to create and access DB files, there is no universal way to open them. [ ⏩ ] DB file extension
How to convert the file from FDB to DB?
To successfully convert the FDB file to DB, 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.FDB). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case DB (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 DB).
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. FDB to DB. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting FDB files to DB 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 DB, while before this step we had the FDB file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new DB file, or not.
