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.
Detailed Description
The FDB is an open-source database engine developed by the Firebird Project that allows the user to create databases and run queries against them. It consists of a server application and a client library, both of which are used to store and manipulate the information contained in the database. The FDB file format is based on the InterBase Internal Database File Format, which has been in use since 1992. By using the Firebird/InterBase Pre-V6 Database Engine, it is possible to access data stored in a variety of Operating Systems (including Windows, Linux and Mac).
Other related file extensions include .fbk, .fbd, .ibd, .gdb, and .fbf. It is important to check on the software being used before opening or converting any database files as attempting to do so with the wrong software can have undesired effects.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FDB) 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 .FDB 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 .FDB 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 .FDB 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 .FDB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FDB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FDB 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 .FDB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FDB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FDB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
