Convert WDB to CSV

Understanding WDB and CSV file formats

The WDB file format is associated with Microsoft Works Database, a discontinued database application that was part of the Microsoft Works productivity suite. WDB files store data in a structured format, similar to a spreadsheet, but are not as widely supported as other database formats.

On the other hand, the CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file format is a widely-used format for storing tabular data. CSV files are plain text files that use commas to separate values, making them easy to read and import into various applications, including spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel and database systems.

How to convert WDB to CSV

Converting a WDB file to a CSV file involves extracting the data from the WDB format and saving it in the CSV format. This process can be done using specialized software or online converters.

Best software for WDB to CSV conversion

One of the best software options for converting WDB files to CSV is Microsoft Access. If you have access to this software, you can open the WDB file and then export it as a CSV file. Here’s how you can do it:

• Open Microsoft Access.
• Use the File menu to open the WDB file.
• Once the file is open, go to File → Export.
• Select Text File and choose CSV as the format.
• Follow the prompts to complete the export process.

If you do not have Microsoft Access, you can use online converters like Zamzar or Convertio, which support WDB to CSV conversion. Simply upload your WDB file, select CSV as the output format, and download the converted file.
