Hello
I want to read the database, and the file extension is .db (it's the database file of the VCE software). I would like to extract the data from this software for other uses. In my version of VCE, I can access the database and even extract it; it's a .db file,
but I don't yet know the type of database nor the language used and the tables involved.
I assumed that it's a SQLite file and tried to write a Java program to read this file. I know how to add the libraries (JDBC) to communicate with databases.
But it doesn't work, and I'm wondering if my assumptions are wrong, if it's not a SQLite file, and how to display the structure of the database because SHOW TABLES doesn’t work.
Thank you in advance for any response.

Hello,

try with Notepad or Excel 2007 (if more than 65,000 records)

Re,

In my version of VCE, I can access the database and even extract it, it’s a .db file, what format did you extract it to, because a .db is generally "openable" with Excel?

OpenOffice and LibreOffice, do they work to read SQLite format 3 files?
