.db2 file extension 1

[jhall01]

I am trying to understand a custom App a client has that a company who went bankrupt built for them.

There is a file within the app that contains the file extension of .db2, and all I can find on it is that it might be a precompiled DB2 SQL procedure Script.

I have never used DB2 in my life and was wandering if someone could shed some light on how I can view this file, if it is even related to DB2 database, and if it truely is a precompiled script file, is there a way to decompile it?


Thanks in advance!

Jon,
How old is the application. New-ish, old, or very very old. The reason I ask is that I have a feeling that many many years ago I worked on a dBase III from Ashton Tate. I think (although I'm not sure) that the databases were stored in .db3 files. I also think that there was a prior version to dBase III, namely dBase II, whose files were .db2 files.

If you are talking about an ancient system (circa 1984?) then this could be the one.
