Extract text from Game databases (XDB)
To convert XDB Databases to another format, you need Siemens SIMATIC STEP 7 or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "Configuration & Game Database" file type, you need software like Siemens SIMATIC STEP 7 or a similar tool.
The .xdb file is a highly fragmented database container format used across entirely different industries. It is most commonly found as XML-based game data for Heroes of Might and Magic V or as PC Station configuration databases in Siemens SIMATIC STEP 7. It also appears as encrypted SQLite databases using SQLCipher, Microsoft Jet Database files, or complex finite element analysis results in Siemens NX Nastran.
The main disadvantage of .xdb files is their application-specific nature. Because the exact same extension is shared by video games, heavy industrial automation software, and encrypted databases, standard text editors or database viewers will often fail to read them. For example, a Siemens configuration file requires an expensive enterprise software license to view natively, while SQLCipher databases are heavily encrypted and completely inaccessible without the correct decryption key. We automatically analyze the internal structure of your .xdb file. If it is an XML-based game asset, convert it to XML or TXT for easy editing and modding. If it is an unencrypted SQLite or Jet database, convert the tables to CSV for spreadsheet analysis or standard SQL for archiving. Be aware that converting proprietary configuration files (like Siemens PCS7) to generic text formats will strip operational logic and application-specific metadata.
Convert.Guru analyzes your XDB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted XDB0, DB0, XDP, TXT, DDS, PDF, ZIP, SAV, WT and MDF files.
If you want to convert XDB file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Siemens SIMATIC STEP 7 or similar software from the "Application-Specific Database Container" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to XDB, try Siemens SIMATIC STEP 7 or another comparable tool in the "Application-Specific Database Container" 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 XDB converter.
