A GDB *.GDB file is a database file that is created and used by Interbase software. The GDB file format is used for saving database transactions as well as data definitions. A GDB file stores tables, stored procedures, views, and triggers. The InterBase software is available on several operating systems, such as Windows, Mac and Linux.
Format Details
The GDB file is essentially an open format and allows modification of the information contained within the file itself. Once a GDB file has been created, it will continue to hold the changes of any data and metadata which has already been entered into it. The format also allows the database to be backed up or exported to other systems with simple file copying or storing files in other database formats like CSV or XML.

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