The SDB file extension is primarily associated with StarOffice and OpenOffice.org, specifically their database component, Base. It represents a database file created and managed by these office suites. SDB files store structured data in a relational database format, allowing users to organize, query, and manipulate information efficiently. This format is commonly used for creating databases for various purposes, such as managing customer information, inventory tracking, or storing research data. The SDB file contains tables, queries, forms, and reports, all integrated within the database structure. While OpenOffice and StarOffice are older software suites, the SDB format was a popular choice for users seeking a free and open-source alternative to commercial database solutions. The data within an SDB file is typically stored in a structured manner, enabling users to perform complex queries and generate reports based on the stored information. The format supports various data types, including text, numbers, dates, and boolean values, allowing for flexible data storage and manipulation.
