Convert XLS to FDB

Understanding XLS and FDB file formats

The XLS file format is a spreadsheet file created by Microsoft Excel, part of the Microsoft Office suite. It is used to store data in a tabular form, including numbers, text, formulas, and other data types. XLS files are widely used for data analysis, financial modeling, and other applications that require organized data.

The FDB file format is a database file used by Firebird, an open-source relational database management system. FDB files store structured data in tables, allowing for efficient data retrieval and manipulation. They are commonly used in applications that require robust data management and storage capabilities.

Converting XLS to FDB

Converting an XLS file to an FDB file involves transferring the data from a spreadsheet format to a database format. This process typically requires importing the data into a database management system that supports the FDB format, such as Firebird.
