About DBV files
A .DBV file is a database file, most frequently associated with the vIQing data review software as a structured SQLite database. These files store relational data, including tables, records, and schemas, but they are not human-readable plain text. A common downside for users is that standard spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel cannot open .dbv files directly, often requiring the original proprietary software or a command-line interface. Additionally, legacy DataPerfect databases and dBASE variable field files also use this extension, further complicating access. For most users, the pragmatic solution is converting the file to a universal format. For data analysis and reporting, convert to CSV or XLSX. For archiving or migration to a new system, convert to a standard SQL dump or PDF for non-editable records.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DBV file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted OTC, DB4, UNC, DBU, DBM, DB, MV and RMS files.
The DBV Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our DBV converter.
