What is an LDB file

LDB files mostly belong to Access by Microsoft. An LDB file is a game level used in Max Payne and Minecraft video games. It contains information about scenes, character actions, lighting, and objects in a given level. Although they have the same filename extension, LDB files used by these games are not saved in the same format. LDB is also the filename extension of a lock file that Access database management system uses to manage a single database file being modified by multiple users. LevelDB object database library saves a database in an LDB file. PowerDesigner saves a logical model backup in an LDB file.

How to open an LDB file

You need a suitable software like Access to open an LDB file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your LDB file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a LDB file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

LDB file format details:

To view or edit LDB files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. In the following you will find our evaluation of the LDB files:

The LDB extension is very commonly found and includes different formats for different programs. But the following two file formats are common:

25% of all LDB files have no uniform signature. They consist of unreadable binary data. Most of these files are 12 KB to 900 KB in size. The file type is relatively new. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as META, https and chrome-extension. Some examples of file names are 20180601.ldb.
4% of all LDB files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "EC BD" at the beginning. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. LDB files can be up to 2 MB in size, but are often around 300 KB - 2 MB. The file name 20180601.ldb is characteristic of these files.

All other LDB files (71%) have no uniform format, frequently e.g. RPG Maker 2000/2003 DataBase, zlib, Flash, DESKTOP, LAPTOP, dmin, LDB, installation, TDB and LiDB. These files sometimes refer to data, database, samsung, backup, icons or level. If you want to find out what your LDB file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
