I have a .db file that I think is a SyBase database file that I have been tasked with extracting data from. Looking at the file in notepad shows that the data in not encrypted (I can read text strings from it) but I don't have the username/password to convince the SyBase tools to read it. Are there any tools/procedure that just skip the...
