Notes about the DB file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The DB file type is primarily associated with 'Windows' by Microsoft Corporation. File is THUMBS.DB. If a folder is set to display thumbnails for graphic files this is the file where they are stored. If you delete the file Windows will rebuild it the next time you visit that folder. The file is normally marked as hidden and a system file so you may have to change settings to see it. If preview thumbnails get out of sync with the actual files, just delete this file and let it be rebuilt.

Cannot access DB files on windows?

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open DB files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

RECOMMENDED:

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.

SQL Anywhere (Database) by iAnywhere Solutions, Inc.SQL Anywhere is a package providing data management and data exchange technologies. SQL Anywhere offers databases that scale from 64-bit servers with thousands of users down to small handheld devices. A SQLAnywhere database may be composed of one to 13 dbspaces. The main system dbspace, which contains all of the system tables as well as (optional) user tables, typically has an extension of .DB. SQLAnywhere is commonly used as part of embedded or third party applications, and the vendor of each application may choose to use a different extension for the system dbspace. Additional dbspaces typically use a .DBS extension, but like the main system dbspace, vendors may choose to use a different extension. This association is classified as Database.
