Version 2 of SQLite, an embedded database engine saves database files with DB2 filename extension. World of Warcraft, a cross-platform video game uses DB2 file extension to save its game database.

DB2 format details:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Below you will find our evaluation of the DB2 files:

The DB2 file extension covers different formats for different programs. The two most common formats are as follows:

30% of all DB2 files are World of Warcraft WDC1 database files. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. The average file size is 380 KB with most files being between 5 KB and 1 MB in size. The file type was developed only in the last few years. The keywords WDC3 are typical for these files. The file name Item.db2 or Achievement.db2 is typical for these files. These files are attributed to creature, spell, artifact, appearance, display, emotes, power and info.
25% of all DB2 files start with the magic bytes 20 00 00 00, which are always the first bytes of this file format. They consist of unreadable binary data. The files are often between 4 KB and 390 KB in size. The file name 01_001.db2 or 04_001.db2 is characteristic of these files.

The remaining 45% of all DB2 files are different files with different signatures, often, for example, SQL, GZIP and Soft. These files sometimes refer to media. If you want to find out what your DB2 file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
