What is .DB3 File Format and How to Open it?
DB3 is a file format used by the popular DBASE III database management system, developed by Ashton-Tate in the 1980s. DBASE III is a widely used database program that was popular in the late 20th century. The DB3 file extension is used to store data in a structured database format. It can also be used to store forms and reports.
DB3 files are organized into tables and consist of records, fields, and indices. Each table contains a header, which is used to store information about the table, such as the number of records, field types, and indices. Each record contains one or more fields, which are individual pieces of data stored in the table. Indices are used to quickly search for records by their values.
DB3 files are not compatible with other database programs, such as Microsoft Access or SQL Server. However, there are a few programs that can open DB3 files, such as dBASE Plus, OpenOffice.org Base and Corel Paradox.
To open a DB3 file, you will need to use a program that is compatible with the DBASE III format. Once you have the necessary program, you can open the DB3 file by selecting it in the program’s File Open menu. You can then view and edit the contents of the file.
