An ACCDB (Access Database) file is a type of database file created with Microsoft Access, first introduced with Access 2007. It is the successor to the older MDB format, which had been used in previous versions of Access. The ACCDB format offers a more modern approach, incorporating several advanced features not available in the MDB format. In ACCDB files, data is stored in tables and fields, and these files often include custom forms, SQL queries, and other data essential for managing relational databases.
ACCDB files are widely used for creating and managing relational databases. They support a variety of features:
- multi-valued fields
- database encryption with passwords
- file attachments and binary data
- calculated columns
- integration with Microsoft Outlook and SharePoint
