Convert DTF to DB

Can you convert DTF to DB?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert DTF to DB?
No - not a direct conversion.

The ACDSee .dtf is an undocumented proprietary thumbnail cache, not a portable database; there is no tool to convert it into a standard .db/SQLite file. It is meant to be regenerated by ACDSee, not exported. (If your .dtf is actually a Symantec Q&A database, that is a different format - import it with Lantica Sesame instead.)
