Subject lines are intended to serve a useful purpose and are not just "dead
space" that you should fill in with anything at all that's not related to your
actual subject or question.

Having said that:

That depends entirely on what created your "db file".  A moment of Google
search tells me that it could be a file created by Filemaker Pro or Microsoft
Access.  If it's "thumbs.db" then that's a file of thumbnail graphics used by
Windows Explorer.

It could also be an Ansys database, an Arcview Object Database file,
or something created by Synopsys Design Compiler, dbVista, Paradox, Smartware,
XTreeGold.

There are about 17 other programs that apparently create a "db file", plus
ghawd-knows how many others that aren't on the list that I'm looking at.

So.... What created it?
