.WDB File Extension

Database created with the Microsoft Works database program; similar to an Access Database (.MDB file), but with more limitations; uses a proprietary data format that cannot be opened by MS Access.

To open a Works database in Access, first open the file in MS Works. Then export the database as a .DBF file. Then import the DBF file into MS Access.

NOTE: Some versions of WDB files can be converted to .CSV files and Excel spreadsheets using the Works Database Converter. However, some fields may not convert correctly.

Database cache file created by World of Warcraft, a massively multiplayer role-playing game (MMORPG); contains game data downloaded from game servers; may store information about items, creatures, non-player characters (NPCs), and quests; used for downloading and caching game content.

Examples of WDB files include creaturecache.wdb, gameobjectcache.wdb, itemcache.wdb, npccache.wdb, and questcache.wdb.
