Function Description
Used to open a file database saved on the local disk.
Feature Entry
- Start tab->Datasource group->File button.
- Workspace Manager panel->Datasource node context menu->Open File Datasource.
Steps
- Execute the Open File Database in any of the above ways.
- In the Open File Datasource dialog, select the file database to open. Supports opening *.udb or *.udbx files, and also supports opening external image files and vector files.
- Spatial data engine type: Includes UDBX (*.udbx), UDB (*.udb), SpatiaLite (*.sqlite) files, GeoPackage vector file (*.gpkg), among which SpatiaLite is the native database of UDBX.
Note:Editing UDBX files across operating systems is not supported; only reading is allowed. For example, if a UDBX file is stored in a shared folder on a Windows system, this shared file can only be read on a Linux system and is not allowed to be edited.
- Image file types: Include *.sit, *.bmp, *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.png, *.tif, *.tiff, *.img, *.sci, *.gif, *.ecw, *.sid, *.bil, *.jp2, *.j2k, *.EGC, *.tpk formats.

Tip:When opening an external file directly into the workspace, a datasource with the same name as the file will be added to the workspace, and the file will be a dataset in that datasource.
- Spatial data engine type: Includes UDBX (*.udbx), UDB (*.udb), SpatiaLite (*.sqlite) files, GeoPackage vector file (*.gpkg), among which SpatiaLite is the native database of UDBX.
