What is a .fdb file?
File Extension Details
An FDB file is a database file created and used by the Firebird relational database management system (RDBMS). Firebird is an open-source SQL database engine that offers high performance, concurrency, and powerful support for stored procedures and triggers. The FDB file serves as the primary storage container for the database, housing all relational data, tables, indexes, views, triggers, stored procedures, and metadata. Because Firebird is highly scalable, FDB files can range in size from a few kilobytes for embedded applications to hundreds of gigabytes in enterprise client-server environments. These files are stored in a proprietary binary format and cannot be viewed with standard text editors. Instead, they must be accessed, queried, and managed using the Firebird database engine or compatible database administration and development tools.
