Today we will describe the ACCDB extension . How to open such a format, as well as what its functions are, will be discussed further. In this case, we have a database file. The format was developed by Microsoft Corporation.
Description
Now we will talk about for what purpose the ACCDB extension was developed. How to open such files, we will tell in the following sections. This is a database that is created using the
Microsoft Access application
. You should understand the contents of such a file. Such a database most often contains data organized in the form of tables and fields. Also, the file may contain custom forms and SQL queries. ACCDB is an updated version of the MDB format that was used in earlier versions of Access. In the format we are interested in, several additional functions have appeared. Among them, it should be noted integration with MS Outlook and SharePoint solutions, work with binary data, encryption.
Main decision
We continue the discussion about the ACCDB format. Microsoft will tell you how to open it, or rather, the Access application that it created. Before us is a database management system. Users who do not have special programming skills can work effectively with this solution. The application allows you to perform operations on databases: edit, create, process. This package can work both in a local network and on stand-alone computers that are managed by the Windows platform. Through this solution, you can not only use, but also create the base of organizations, as well as personal databases. Access is part of the Microsoft Office suite of applications. The environment has an interface that is typical for Windows applications. It includes: main menu, toolbar, field for work, status bar. The system is capable of processing data with a hierarchical sequence. The upper level has the basic objects of the Access platform. Tables are the main type of object. The remaining variations are derivatives of them. The main components of the table are records and fields. Through these elements, the properties of individual fragments of the structure are determined.
Other options
The solution described above is not the only option for interacting with ACCDB. One of the components of the Apache OpenOffice project will tell us how to open such a file. Before us is a free package of office applications. OpenOffice can be used on a variety of platforms: Windows, FreeBSD, Solaris, Linux, MacOS. To interact with the format, we need a solution called Base. This is a database management system. It is with its help that you can interact with ACCDB files. One of the following applications will also tell you how to open this format: MDB Viewer Plus, DMC and Microsoft Visual Studio.
