WDB File Extension Description

The file extension WDB works for the Microsoft Works Database, as the files created with the database application. The Microsoft Works Database is similar to Microsoft Access. They are both database applications that create database files. The files created with the Microsoft Works Database will have the WDB file extension. Since this file extension only works for this application, whenever a file has the WDB file extension, it will be read as a file that can be opened and edited with the Microsoft Works Database.

This Microsoft Works Database is not similar to a word processor or spreadsheet. If a word processor specializes in creating paper documents and the spreadsheet application is primarily made for computation, then the Microsoft Works Database is made for making a collection of data. Therefore, the WDB file extension made with this application is a file containing a collection of organized data that are needed for future reference or use.

Example of a common database is a phonebook. More complex files with the WDB file extension could be those used by a company to keep records of employees. The Microsoft Works Database application, users are able to create simple files, as well as more complex database files saved in the WDB file extension.

To be more specific, files with the WDB file extension contain two general objects, which are the field and the record. The field or the categories information contains the specific information about a certain record. In a phonebook database, there may be a field for the name, address, and phone number.

Meanwhile, the record is a set of data composed of fields. For example, in a phonebook database, the information about Alan Smith including his address and phone number constitute a single record. But the WDB file extension here is the entire collection of data. It could be the phonebook of all the persons associated with one person. In short, it is the complete set of information composed of organized data from all the fields and records.
