Hi,
I see a variety of extensions for sqlite3 database files, such as .db,
.db3, .sqlite3 and .sq3. Is there a most commonly used/accepted
convention for the extension? Thanks.
It's a convention-less thing, as others have mentioned. However, I can
answer the most-used question as far as Windows environments go:
The sqlite tool I maintain has a nifty little function that can search
any folder on a drive (including subfolders) and list all the SQLite
files it finds, so if I point it in Windows to the current user's root
and start a search, all the sqlite files pop out, and I do this fairly
often on random computers as a source of amusement.
Due to the above, I have seen a LOT of sqlite files in my life used by a
lot of applications, and I can tell you that the vast majority of them
are all .db files. Skype uses it, Adobe has it, most downloadable DB's
use it (chinook.db for instance). I have seen others: .sqlite and
.sqlitedb are favourites too. Sometimes there are obscure ones, like the
downloadable Geo-names file being a .qmv file (no idea why).
Still, the majority are .db files.
HTH,
Ryan
