What is a .DB3 file?

A .db3 file is typically a SQLite database in a single file.

Did you know
  • SQLite even flies - Airbus uses it in the flight software of the A350 airliner, where the code is tested to aviation-grade standards.
  • SQLite, which .db3 files use, keeps an entire database in one cross-platform file with no server process required.
  • Its author dedicated the code to the public domain and even refuses patches from contributors who will not do the same.
What Analyser reads
Open SQLite databases (.sqlite/.db/.sqlite3) and read their full schema in-browser - every table with its columns and row counts, views, indexes, triggers, the CREATE-statement DDL, and a sample of the largest table. Reads the WAL-mode sidecars too: the Write-Ahead Log (-wal) - page size, salts, frame and committed-transaction counts, and the pages it changed - and the shared-memory index (-shm) - valid frame count, database size and checkpoint progress. Also parses .sql dumps (dialect, tables, columns, INSERT counts) and identifies Microsoft Access (MDB, ACCDB).
Depth of analysis
.DB3 is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
Open a .DB3 file
Drag a .DB3 file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
