What is a .MDB file?
MDB is the classic Microsoft Access database format. Created and opened by Microsoft Access.
- Did you know
- MDB was Access’s format from its 1992 debut until ACCDB replaced it in 2007.
- MDB databases are driven by Microsoft’s Jet engine and are capped at two gigabytes in size.
- Jet, the engine behind .mdb files, is short for Joint Engine Technology, and it also powered data access in Visual Basic.
- What Analyser shows you
- Open Microsoft Access databases (.mdb Jet and .accdb ACE) fully in the browser: lists every user table with its columns and row count, and shows a sample of rows from each in a spreadsheet-style grid. Reads the creation date and format version. Nothing is uploaded.
- Open a .MDB file
- Drag a .MDB file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It opens entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
