Does anyone know how to open/convert a .sqb file?


Thanks

Hi Chris, sorry just seen this question

.sqb file is a file extension used from sq lite database program. SQ lite was used by Kinetic aviation for sbs-1 etc to hold airframe data etc.
The backups of this program use the .sqb file extension and the backups are squeezed into a relatively small package given the amount of data in them.
I presume you want to open a basestation.sqb and perhaps view it or edit it.


You can use this program (30 day trial only) for the pro version,there is a home version which is free.

SQLite Expert Trial Download

This program will enable you to open/view .sqb files , also it will enable importing from other file formats such as .csv but a slight caveat, Basestation is very large, perhaps 500,000 entries typically when "unwrapped".If you are "going in there" to work with the database, I suggest you use a copy of the original and not the original .sqb just in case the worst happens.

Hope this helps.

Mike


Edit: Chris, I remember from the last time we had contact that you have a chromebook,
I found this alternative,perhaps try this.

SQLite Viewer for chrome

I dont think you can edit or import with this one, its view only I think.

I dont have a chromebook to test it but there are other open source free alternatives to sqlite expert which work fine with linux/unix platforms such as sqlite studio.

Hi Mike.

I have managed to open it by converting it to a text document, now is just a case of working out what format it should be and where words should be. I did try it on my chromebook but it didn't want to work.

Thanks for your help though. I do greatly appreciate it.

Hi Chris,
I think with the suggestions above (excluding the one for Chromebook) you can import the .sqb into the program ,then save as a .CSV file.
I'm pretty sure that you can then import the .csv file into Microsoft excel ,libre office calc , open office calc or similar spreadsheet handler and save as .xls or whatever.
This should put the data into manageable and searchable fields/columns..in theory anyway !
