ADB (Alpha Five Database File) is a proprietary, file-based database format created by Alpha Software. It is designed to be accessed through applications developed with Alpha Five Version 6 or later versions of Alpha Five. Files stored in the ADB (Alpha Five Database File) format can contain a variety of information including graphic images, text fields, and other types of data. The ADB extension is typically associated with an array of related file extensions like.MB,.ALU, and.MDF.
The ADB extension is the main used type of file created in Alpha Five Versions 6 - 12. Therefore, it appears in both Windows and MacOS operating systems. The information within these databases are organized into tables which comprise records linked with relationships. Data stored in the ADB format can also be exported to different formats such as HTML, Excel sheets, and other formats.
Structure & Uses of ADB Files
ADB files use the same structure as Microsoft Access MDB files and are generally structured around tables, fields, indexes, a library container object responsible for creating tables and other objects in the database, as well as triggers and procedures. They are usually used to archive information from web applications in Alpha Five, or to store data associated with databases created with the software.

Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ADB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ADB extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ADB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ADB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ADB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ADB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ADB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ADB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ADB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ADB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
