Convert S3DB to XLSX

Understanding s3db and xlsx file formats

S3DB is a file format used by Microsoft Access 2007 and later for storing relational database tables. It is essentially a SQLite 3 Database file, which means it contains structured data in tables, fields, and records. On the other hand, XLSX is the standard file format for Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, supporting complex data, formulas, and formatting.

Converting s3db to xlsx allows you to analyze, visualize, and share your database data using Excel's powerful tools. This is especially useful for users who need to work with data outside of database management systems.
