Q: 

What kind of file is this?

I don't known the full story as I just got involved recently but I have a file that is "a MySQL data base" (longish story, the source is not technical).

The file name is: something.db

the Linux file command just gives data

looking inside I find Copyright (c)2000 9.0.0.1108 Sybase (might be an author or file format vendor)

I'm supposed to be striping the data out of the file but first I need to known what type it is.

+1  A: 

If it's Sybase, my guess would be it's a SQLAnywhere database.

Is that what it was?

I think so, I'm not going to get my hopes up till I actually get data out of it.
