IBD file extension - MySQL InnoDB database table

What is ibd file? How to open ibd files?

File type specification:

Database file type icon Database file type

File extension ibd is used by InnoDB, which is the default storage engine of MySQL since version 5.5.

By default, all InnoDB tables and indexes are stored in the system tablespace.

As an alternative, InnoDB table and its indexes can be saved individually in its own file. This feature is called “multiple tablespaces” because each table that is created when this setting is in effect has its own tablespace.

With multiple tablespaces enabled, InnoDB stores each newly created table in its own tbl_name.ibd file in the appropriate database folder.

Compressed backup of this file has the ibz file extension instead.
