.PDB

Program Database

📌 This kind of .PDB document is related to database files applied by various software packages, among which are Microsoft Visual Studio, Quicken and other complementary tools. As a rule, .PDB objects store information in a structured shape and are usually preinstalled with the appropriate toolkit. As a matter of fact, .PDB data resources are saved with various proprietary extensions, considering that they can be opened and viewed only by the suite they were installed with. For instance, Microsoft Visual Studio bundle won’t identify the .PDB file, generated by Quicken app, and vice versa.

Protein Data Bank File

📌 In the alternate conditions, .PDB container can concern data files, which store and process 3D coordinates where structure of atoms is specified within a protein or other supplemental chemical compound. .PDB disk files can also be applied into practice as a standard markup for learning protein structures. At last, the .PDB objects are also discovered by the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB) during exploration of biological macromolecules. It should be mentioned that the majority of Protein Data Bank files are distributed across wwPDB network, - a non-governmental structure, that is responsible for archiving macromolecules and their free accessibility.

Tanida Demo Builder File

📌 This type of .PDB resource correlates with the project file, initiated, designed and applied by Demo Builder, a program oriented on creation of demonstrations, presentations and tutorials to figure out how systems and software interact and operate together. In this particular case, .PDB objects contain recorded screen scenes, along with imported images and videos. On the final stage, .PDB movie projects can be exported into a multitude of formats depending on how precisely you want your outcome tutorial to be presented to the audience. Compatible .PDB project formats involve Word documents, MPEG4, Windows Media Video, HTML, Flash.

PowerDesigner Database Backup File

📌 In nontypical clauses, .PDB extension can be referred to as a backup of a PowerDesigner database (.PDM object). This category of .PDB document sample includes original data stored in scope of a database in addition to references to other files. The .PDB object instance is generated as a backup considering the situation when the main database file needs to be restored. The .PDB backup suggests appliance of internal restoration utility, integrated into DBMS visual shell and able to specify various data encoding, encryption and decompression algorithms, utilized formerly during creation of the backup instance.

Palm Desktop Database File

📌 One more category of .PDB objects belongs to the standard data format applied by various specific program tools on PDA-devices, which are based on the Palm system. This specification of .PDB disk resources may store diverse types of data such as image files, maps, databases, spreadsheets, word processing documents and, finally, eBooks. In order to identify what program has created a recent .PDB container, open the appropriate .PDB file in a text editor. The Creator and Type code markers should be found near the top section of the .PDB document in the header block.

How to open an .PDB file?

📌 Depending on the origins, native platform and structure of the conclusive .PDB object acquired during download or locally, the file can be flawlessly opened up, reviewed, discovered and edited by various software toolkits, from Microsoft Visual Studio and Avogadro to Tanida Demo Builder and Palm Desktop. Different .PDB files may also vary with unique composition and layout and can be dedicated to diverse targets and objectives.
