Open PDB file

PDB (Program Database) file is a proprietary file format created by Microsoft for their Visual Studio software development environment. It contains data about a C++ or C# program that is used by the debugger during testing and debugging phases.

PDB file includes the name and location of all symbols in the program, the names of all source files, and the line numbers within those files. It also contains information about the functions, classes, variables, and other identifiers in the code. This file is crucial for debugging because it allows the debugger to locate exactly where in the source code an error or exception has occurred. Without a PDB file, the debugger would only be able to report that an error occurred, but not where or why it happened.

The PDB file extension is associated with the an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, UNIX etc. The *.pdb file stores some kind of data related to web server library.

The pdb file extension is associated with some emulators of Commodore C64 8-bit home computers popular in the 1980's. The .pdb file stores various data used by an emulator.

The pdb file format seems to be obsolete and not used by any current known C64 emulator.

File extension pdb is associated with the Microsoft Linker, a Visual Studio tool used to links Common Object File Format (COFF) object files and libraries to create a executable (.exe) file or dynamic-link library (DLL).

Object (.obj) files compiled using the /Zi option contain the name of a program database (PDB). You do not specify the object's PDB file name to the linker; LINK uses the embedded name to find the PDB if it is needed. This also applies to debuggable objects contained in a library; the PDB for a debuggable library must be available to the linker along with the library.

The pdb file extension is associated with the MonekyCard and MonkeyLogo applications for PalmOS an operating system for smart phones.

The pdb file stores picture image.

The pdb files are viewable in a XnView picture images management software.

The pdb file extension is associated with the PDB (Protein Data Bank) chemical modeler file format.

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is an archive of experimentally determined three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules that serves a global community of researchers, educators, and students. The data contained in the archive include atomic coordinates, bibliographic citations, primary and secondary structure, information, and crystallographic structure factors and NMR experimental data.

The pdb file extension was also used by PowerBasic, a compiler and program developing in BASIC programming language for Microsoft Windows operating system.

The pdb file stores some kind of data used by debugger.

The pdb file extension is associated with the PowerDesigner, a modeling and design solution for Microsoft Windows that helps you implement effective enterprise architecture.

This type of .pdb files contains physical model backup.

The pdb file extension is associated with the Ribbons, a software for display molecular models, analyze crystallographic data and create publication quality images.
