Opening SDB files

Did your computer fail to open a SDB file? We explain what SDB files are and recommend software that we know can open or convert your SDB files.

What is a SDB file?

Files that contain the .sdb file extension usually store Windows registry database files. These files contain registry patch information that make the Windows registry compatible with newer versions of the applications that have been installed on a user's computer. These SDB files can be installed on an individual computer or on an entire network.

The .sdb file extension is also used by the OpenOffice Base database application. When the OpenOffice and StarOffice database programs creates a database file, the database is given the .sdb file suffix. These applications were created as a free alternative to the costly Microsoft Access database software.

Software that will open, convert or fix SDB files

Try a universal file viewer

In addition to the products listed above, I would suggest that you try a universal file viewer like Free File Viewer. It can open over 200 different types of files - and very likely yours too! Download Free File Viewer.
