Extract text from SQLite databases (SQDB)
To convert SQDB databases to another format, you need SQLite or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "Embedded SQL Database" file type, you need software like SQLite or a similar tool.
The .SQDB file extension is a variation used for SQLite databases, the most widely deployed database engine in the world. These files are self-contained, serverless relational databases that store tables, indices, triggers, and views in a single disk file. They are frequently used by mobile apps (Android/iOS), desktop software, and embedded systems to store local user data, configuration settings, or caches.
While SQLite is open-source and robust, .SQDB files present significant hurdles for casual users. Because the format is binary, you cannot open these files in text editors like Notepad or spreadsheet tools like Microsoft Excel without seeing garbled text. Viewing the data requires specialized SQL clients (such as DB Browser for SQLite) or command-line interface familiarity, creating a technical barrier for anyone simply trying to access their data. Furthermore, relying on specific database viewers can be cumbersome if you only need to extract a specific table for analysis.
For most users, the most pragmatic solution is conversion. To analyze data in spreadsheets, convert .SQDB to CSV or XLSX. If you are migrating data to a server-based system like MySQL or PostgreSQL, converting to a standard SQL dump file is essential. For web developers needing lightweight data interchange, converting to JSON is the standard approach.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SQDB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted OTC, DB4 and EVENTS files.
If you want to convert SQDB file to DB, SQLITE, SQLITE3, MDB, ACCDB, DBF, ODB, FDB, GDB, MYD, FRM or SQL, you can use SQLite or similar software from the "Relational Database Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert NDF, SQLITE3, BAK, RDB, SQL, DB4, MDF, MDB, LDF, DB, DB3 or SQLITE files to SQDB, try SQLite or another comparable tool in the "Relational Database Storage" category.
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 SQDB converter.
