The .DBS file extension is used to store data files in a structured format created by the SQLBase software developed by Borland. Such database files are used to contain data records stored for a number of different applications. It was initially released in 1988 and has since become one of the most popular database file formats available.
Database File Format Details
The DBS file format is composed of text based fields in a UTF encoding and typically contains database objects such as tables, views, triggers, and stored procedures. Data records are stored in the form of rows and columns and can be queried using Structured Query Language (SQL). A DBS database stores tables, columns, indexes, primary keys, and foreign keys. It is able to store large amounts of data and supports a wide range of data types including text, images, XML, binary, video and audio. Since SQLBase 10.5 other supported formats like CALC, EXCEL, HTML, TAB-separated text and WORD have been made available.
Similar File Extensions
Apart from the.DBS file type there are several similar database file formats such as .FDB, .MDB, and .GDB. All these file extensions are used in various RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) applications.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DBS) 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 .DBS 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 .DBS 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 .DBS 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 .DBS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DBS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DBS 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 .DBS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DBS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DBS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
