Convert FDB to XLSX

Verified by Adam B.· reviewed by FE Editorial ·updated Jul 16, 2026
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert FDB to XLSX?
Yes - FDB converts to XLSX.

A Firebird .fdb is a full SQL database, not a single table, so you export table by table. DBeaver (free) exports directly to XLSX with a right-click; Full Convert automates the batch export if you need all tables at once.

Why convert FDB to XLSX?

Spreadsheet recipients need data in XLSX for review, filtering, or further processing in Excel. XLSX preserves column types and handles larger row counts than older formats, making it the natural export target for Firebird table data.

How to convert FDB to XLSX

DBeaver FREE

Connect to the .fdb in DBeaver, right-click a table, choose Export Data, and select XLSX as the format. Repeat for each table you need.

Full Convert Enterprise EASIEST

Quality & what to watch

  • A .fdb holds many tables - converting FDB to XLSX means exporting individual tables or query results, not the whole database as one file.
  • DBeaver requires the Firebird server or embedded engine installed on the same machine; it is a database client, not a standalone reader.
  • Firebird databases carry an ODS version number - if your engine is older than the one that created the .fdb, install a current Firebird release to avoid errors.

Frequently asked questions

Can I export all tables to one XLSX file at once?
Full Convert Enterprise can export all tables in one batch; DBeaver's free version exports one table per run.
Do I need to install Firebird separately to use DBeaver?
Yes - DBeaver connects to Firebird via its engine or embedded driver, which must be installed on the same machine.
What are the default Firebird login credentials?
The default username is SYSDBA and the default password is masterkey, but this depends on how the database was set up.
