It also would most probably ignore all database structures that are not tables (UDF functions, procedures, VIEWs, auto-computed columns in tables) &#8211; afterall it is just low-level format parser, not an SQL engine.<\/p>\n<p>IB Expert has as a non-commercial Personal edition, but it probably does not include DB Exp, however you may try a trial period of full version. However IBE&#8217;s DBExp would probably also only show basic structures of the database, maybe it would be enough.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively you can install Firebird 2.5.8 &#8211; either a standalone version or maybe embedded (a set of DLLs used instead of FB server process) if your application can use it, then use any DB IDE suit to explore it. Most often mentioned for Firebird would be IBExpert, FlameRobin, Firebird Maestro or any other. Then you would be able to try different SQL queries, including SPs, VIEWs and UDF-functions if there were any registered for the database and actually used.<\/p>\n<p>BTW IBExpert comes bundled with FB 2.5 Embedded, which one can use to open the database file.<\/p>\n<p>After you figure out the format, you can either export required data into some intermediate format like CSV (for example: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/fbutils.sourceforge.net\/\">http:\/\/fbutils.sourceforge.net\/<\/a> ) or use your C++ application (though why would anyone develop web-application in C++) using libraries like IB++ or OLE DB, etc. Maybe it would be better to just use the Firebird server and original DB files from PHP or what would you write the application in.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt24\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>            <span class=\"d-none\" itemprop=\"commentCount\">1<\/span> <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n<p>solved Convert an unknown database file from a windows software into a MySqli Database <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The linked file seems to be a renamed Firebird database with structure version ODS 11.2 which corresponds to Firebird 2.5.x line.
