Reading .db files in Ubuntu 8.10
How can I view the contents of .db files (i.e. file-index.db, email-meta.db, etc.) in Ubuntu?
ASKER
It installed alright, but I can't get it to open the .db files. I'm not exactly sure what extension it's expecting or how I can get around it.

Yeah. There's something wrong, because this is the message I get whenever I try to open any of the files:
Error in opening file file-index.db - perhaps this is not an sqlite db file
Exception Name: NS_ERROR_FILE_CORRUPTED
Exception Message: Component returned failure code: 0x8052000b (NS_ERROR_FILE_CORRUPTED) [mozIStorageService.openUn sharedData base]

The file is corrupted.
You can Install a Firefox plugin: SQLite Manager from here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/5817
Then, in Firefox you will find it in the Tools menu. Open the Manager and point it to the files you need to read.
