File extension ldb is associated with Microsoft Access, a database management system, part of Microsoft Office Suite, developed by Microsoft Corporation.
The LDB format was used by Microsoft Access prior version 2007 for database lock files. The latest versions of Microsoft Access are using the laccdb for databases instead.
Whenever an mdb is opened, an ldb file with the same file is created.
This type of ldb files plays an important role in the multiuser scheme of the Microsoft Jet database engine. The ldb file is used to determine which records are locked in a shared database and by whom.
It is not possible to access this file directly.
This file type is not meant to be converted to anything else, it is generated as file-locking mechanism only and does not contain any useful data.

RPG Maker 2000/2003 database files use the .ldb file extension and belong to the Windows versions of RPG Maker used to create role-playing games.
The file contains the project's editable database, such as information about items, skills, characters, enemies, monsters and other elements used by the game. It is normally stored as part of an RPG Maker project rather than used as a general-purpose database.
This is a proprietary, legacy format associated with RPG Maker 2000 and RPG Maker 2003. Newer RPG Maker editions use different project and database formats, although some may be able to open these databases.
Open the RPG Maker 2000 or RPG Maker 2003 project that contains the file in the corresponding Windows version of RPG Maker. The database is normally edited from within the project rather than opened as a standalone file.
You might also be able to open this database in a newer version of RPG Maker, although newer editions generally use different database formats.
These databases are not generally exported or converted to another format. The file is intended to remain part of its RPG Maker project.
Some data may be recreated or migrated manually in a later RPG Maker project, and the database may possibly be transferred to a later version of the program.
