What is a DB3 file?
File with a .DB3 extension contains a database – its structure and data records. An example of such database can be a PalmDatabase.Db3 file which stores contacts, information on calls and data on user of a Palm Pre device.
DB3 files are created with SQLite – light software for creation of data bases in form of simple files. Due to its structure they can easily store structural data and enable its obtaining via SQL.

How to open DB3 files
If you cannot open the DB3 file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports DB3 among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the DB3 file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the DB3 format files
The inability to open and operate the DB3 file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Database Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a DB3 file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the DB3 file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the DB3 from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the DB3 format
- The DB3 file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the DB3 file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a DB3 file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the DB3 file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the DB3 file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the DB3 file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.DB3) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected DB3 file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the DB3 file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. DB3) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
