.WDB File

The wdb file extension is most likely best known for its use in Microsoft Works, a now discontinued office suite produced by Microsoft, which was offered as smaller, less expensive, and with fewer features alternative to the Microsoft Office suite. Its core functionality includes a word processor, a spreadsheet and a database.

The wdb file contains database created in Microsoft Works. It is the default database format of the program.

MIME type used by wdb database files:
application/vnd.ms-works
application/vnd.ms-works-db
application/x-msworks-db
zz-application/zz-winassoc-wdb

This wdb file type entry was marked as obsolete and no longer supported file format.

This type of file is no longer actively used and is most likely obsolete. This is typically the case for system files in old operating systems, file types from long discontinued software, or previous versions of certain file types (like documents, projects etc.) that were replaced in higher versions of their original programs.

Files with wdb file extension can be mainly found as older databases from the discontinued Microsoft Works office software bundle.

How to open:

It seems that .wdb files can only be opened in Microsoft Works and the support in other database programs is somewhat limited.

How to convert:

Microsoft Works databases may be exported to common formats like CSV which then can be imported to most modern database managers / spreadsheets editors.
