File extension ldb information
LDB file is used as a lock file to block anyone from accessing a database or other types of files on a network. Locking out users from opening or changing a file while another remote user is accessing the file has a number of protective advantages. In a technical sense, the file is considered closed when the database or the files to be protected are being accessed or opened by a remote user and they are considered open when there are no remote users accessing the files. Thus, the file helps in preventing accidental erasure or overwriting.

Some of the programs that use the LDB file format include IBM Works, RPG Maker, Settler, True Vector and VisiTrax Music Library. The LDB file extension is also used by Microsoft Corporation to prevent multiple users from being able to access a single file while they have been logged in as authentic users. Thus, users cannot access a database file in this mode when another user is accessing the database.
