Your understanding is incorrect. The db3 file is not a dbase 3 file, but is a sqlite3 db file, created by version 3 of sqlite. You need sqlite to open that file, which is provided by your application and the .dylib in question. Perhaps you should ask your developer who gave you all this for more help.
