Hi all,
Can any one please suggest me, how to open database file db.db file. I tried with notepad, but it's not showing perfectly. Can we open it at sql prompt, I wanted to see it in exact row/cloumn pattern.
Thanks,
Srilatha.

Remember, it's a binary file, so you can't open it like a text file.
You will have to write a program using the Data class, reading in the db and print them out to console or some text file.

There is also an animal called a hex editor - which allows you to look inside a binary file - see: http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~prewett/hexedit/
