Database that contains additional Windows registry information; patches the registry to make it compatible with newly installed applications; can be installed on an individual system or on multiple systems over a network.

Windows SDB files are handled by Windows' built-in Compatibility Database Installer Tool (Sdbinst.exe).

An SDB file may also be a database file used by SparkleDB, a high performance NoSQL database management system designed for Big Data applications. It can store large amounts of data and is highly scalable. That means SDB files can easily grow in size and contain new types of data.

By default, Sparkle DB files use the filename convention "[logical ID]-[physical ID].sdb". The locations of SDB files are listed in the instance.config.xml file.
