I want to see and check .fdb file. And I am using VS Code to open it. I installed "DB Explorer For Firebird Databases" for this and file opened. However, the opened file was corrupt. How can I fix this?
A Firebird database file is a file to be read by the Firebird database engine and queried using SQL. It is not something to be opened in a text editor, like you did in the screenshot.
The DB Explorer For Firebird Databases is a plugin for connecting to a Firebird database server, and executing queries against that server. It is not something for viewing the contents of a FDB file directly.
Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, the DB Explorer For Firebird Databases has been broken for a while now, and it seems it is no longer maintained. You can connect to a database, and see the tables it has, but attempting to execute queries or view data will not show any query results, but instead shows a broken image icon (the issue for this bug has been open since 2019, so I guess it is unlikely to get fixed).
You may want to consider using something like DBeaver or FlameRobin to query a Firebird database, but that will still require having a Firebird database server installed.

How do I get DBeaver to create its sample database after declining its first offer (without re-installing or deleting %APPDATA%\DBeaverData\workspace6) ?
Example screenshots:
You can update your DBeaver version. You can find the "Create Sample Database" under the "Help" button. (Image from DBeaver 21.3.0, will be released soon).
Or you can just specify the way to the sample database directly in the new SQLite connection. Usually, you can find Chinook.db in the %APPDATA%\DBeaverData\workspace6. For me it was "workspace6.metadata.metadata\sample-database-sqlite-1" path.
I use a PostgreSQL database on my local computer. I always import csv files via right-click to the relevant table and choosing the Import/Export Dialog. However, when I opened the pgadmin last time, there was no import/export option in the options. I do not know what happened to it. I, once, took a backup of files and use this backup file to migrate the database to another version of Postgres. I am not sure but I want to ask might one of the options that I selected or did not select cause this trouble?
I also tried to go in an alternative way by using copy from 'C://path/data.csv method and it did not work. then I tried \copy from 'C://path/data.csv but it did not even recognize the \ symbol and gave an error.
I wonder what happened to Postgres or pgadmin and how can I find a solution to import my data to the Postgres database?
I had the same issue, looked everywhere but nothing came up on WHY this happened or HOW to fix it.
RESOLUTION: I was able to resolve this by downloading the latest version of pgadmin4.
After downloading, the Import/Export dialog reappeared.
Hope this helps you too!

I'm using DBeaver 3.8.0 and trying to setup general connection to my local PostgreSQL database.
To view all the databases i have, I check the "Show non-default databases" checkbox. And when I try to access Schemas of one of my databases - I'm getting the error
org.jkiss.dbeaver.DBException: Can't access non-default database
Try to set your database active which you choose to open the schema:
Right-click on the Db Connection in the database navigator (right-click on PostgreSQL)
Click on edit connection
Select PostgreSQL tab
Select Show all databases
Click ok to save
Note: I am using DBeaver Enterprise 7.0.0
For more recent versions of DBeaver, you can improve this confusing default behavior.
You need to change an "Editors" setting. There are several ways to get to the setting, an easy way is:
[Postgres - #name#] right-click > Properties
Under Editors, check the auto-sync box:
After that, any time you click on a database in the right-hand navigator, it will automatically be set as the active database, so things should just work.
These types of pain points are enough to drive you away from new tools, this one in particular. Hang in there!
I am trying to debug a program using Entity Framework code first on my personal (work) computer.
We have recently had a domain migration, meaning that the user I log in as now is not the same that I used before. This caused me to loose access to the databases I had on the computer. To get around this, I have uninstalled everything to do with Microsoft SQL Server on the computer, and installed the latest version of Microsoft SQL Server, 2014 - 12.0.4213.0 . I then restored the database I need.
When I first tried to run the program, Visual Studio complained that the project is set up to use SQL Server Express, which was not installed. The recommended solution is to change the project to use SQL Server instead. To do this, I must click on "the database file" and follow the instructions. I have looked through the entire solution. There is a great many files, but I found no good candidate for "the database file."
It seems that my Google fu is not strong enough to find anything about this. So my question is: how do I change the project to use SQL Server?
I also have a second, related question. I tried to solve the problem by installing SQL Server Express. However, when I try to restore the database to this, no base appears in the drop down list. When I try to run the program now, I get another error:
Unable to create the file 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\Timelønsblanket.mdf' because it already exists.
I guess that this is also why I cannot restore the database. What I have found in websearches warns that I should not manually delete .mdf files.
Any advice on what to do?
I have solved the problem. All that was needed was a correct connection string. No need to find a "database file".
Is it possible to recreate the database from scratch on a typo3 4.7.10?
After a migration the database got lost and only the files are available. My job now is to create a new database for it.
Do I have to install a typo3 4.7 and then use this database or is it somehow possible to recreate the database with the current installation?
You can create an empty db via phpMyAdmin, for example.
Then go to Install Tool -> Basic Configuration and enter your db credentials there. After that you can switch to DB analyzer and click on "Compare" button.
TYPO3 will then prompt all the SQL queries it will perform, which in your case will be "CREATE TABLE ...". Just agree with that and your empty TYPO3 db will be created.
