What is a DM2 file?

DM2 files mostly belong to DBDesigner.

The DM2 file is a database diagram file made by DBDesigner. It stores the layout of a data model, which shows tables, keys, and relationships in a structured plan.
Using this file, designers create and review database schemas before actual database implementation.

Key Details provided by FilExt.com:

  • Purpose: To record and display the design of database structures.
  • Usage: Open and edit exclusively using DBDesigner.
  • Functionality: It holds visual representations of tables, primary/foreign keys, and their relations in a proprietary format.
  • Viewing: Not intended for text editors; the proper tool is required to view and modify it.
  • FilExt.com note: For further details, please visit the DBDesigner official site.

    How do you open DM2 files?

    You need a suitable software like DBDesigner to open a DM2 file.
