.MYD File

File extension myd is associated with MySQL database server. MySQL uses myd files as data files for its databases and tables.

Typical .myd files (MySQL DATA) contain table row data and they are also used by MySQL to store data for a MyISAM table. Files with this extension are always included in database backups produced by the "innobackup" command.

Along with each .myd file there should a frm file, which contains the table structure and myi files, which contain indexes.

Content of the myd file can be viewed/accessed by any MySQL management tools that can access MySQL database server, but only if the frm file is available. However it is possible to recreate the accompanying myi file if it is missing.

Files with myd extension are used for MySQL database data files that store table row data for MyISAM table. They are also included in MySQL database backups. Content of the myd file can be viewed in MySQL management tools, such as Navicat, EMS SQL Manager, MySQL Workbench etc.

How to open:

Use MySQL server with some database client tools like Navicat to open/edit/view the contents of databases stored inside *.myd files used by MySQL.

How to convert:

Without MySQL server and client tools you probably can not convert only this *.myd file type or export data to other database exchange file formats.
