What is a GDBTABLE file?

GDBTABLE files mostly belong to ArcGIS by Esri. GDBTABLE file format is a geodatabase file associated with ArcGIS Desktop, a 2D and 3D mapping application developed by ESRI.

Main Use: ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute) is a major global supplier of geographic information system (GIS) tools, web GIS, and geodatabase management applications. ArcGIS is one such application that is used to create, analyze, manage, and share geographic data to facilitate decision-makers to make informed decisions. ArcGIS Desktop is a foundational piece for GIS professionals to create, analyze, manage, and share geographic information so decision-makers can make intelligent, informed decisions. ArcGIS saves table containing GIS data and metadata related to a geodatabase in a row and column format within a GDBTABLE file. The GDBTABLE data forms a part of the ArcGIS database. Geodatabases are saved in folders with GDB extensions which contain several other files apart from the GDBTABLE file format namely GDBTABLX, GDBINDEXES, ATX, and FREELIST. The GDBTABLE file contains data related to geographic entities like cities, counties, and states. They are used to save records that appear as columns with rows, called fields, and consist of object ID numbers, shapes, areas, names, and statuses.
Adoption: GDBTABLE files can be opened by using ESRI ArcGIS. GDAL (Geospatial Data Abstraction Library) is an open-source translator library that can access GDBTABLE data. GDBTABLE files can also be opened using ArcMap, a program bundled with ArcGIS Desktop, by selecting Add data and choosing the GDBTABLE file.

How to open a GDBTABLE file

You need a suitable software like ArcGIS to open a GDBTABLE 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 GDBTABLE file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a GDBTABLE file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert GDBTABLE files:

ArcGIS by Esri
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. GDBTABLE files are often referred to as ArcGIS gis because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
QGIS (geodatabase file) by QGIS
QGIS is an open-source desktop GIS similar to ArcGIS, where it supports viewing, editing, and analysis of geographic information and geospatial data while allowing users to compose and export graphical maps. The GDBTALE files hold similar usages as they do within ArcGIS, as they store geodatabase table files. This file format is classified as GIS.

GDBTABLE format details:

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. 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. Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Below you will find our evaluation of the GDBTABLE files:

The GDBTABLE file extension is quite widespread and mainly uses a special format. The two most popular formats are as follows:

99% of all GDBTABLE files use the same file format, which have the signature 03 00 00 00. They consist of unreadable binary data. The average file size is 930 KB with most files being between 590 bytes and 160 MB in size. The file type was developed only in the last few years. The following keywords are characteristic: OBJECTID, Shape and GEOGCS. A common filename is a0000000a.gdbtable or a00000009.gdbtable.

All other GDBTABLE files (1%) have no consistent format. If you want to find out what your GDBTABLE file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.

How to solve problems with GDBTABLE files

Associate the GDBTABLE file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open geodatabase files. Because only the current version supports the latest GDBTABLE file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the Esri manufacturer website after an available ArcGIS update.
To make sure that your GDBTABLE file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
