What is an ABS file?

An ABS file is a database file created by Absolute Database, a database engine for the Delphi software development IDE. It stores data in a structured, relational format and supports encryption and in-memory performance. ABS files are used by software developers for storing data with their applications.

More Information

You can create an ABS database using the DBManager utility included with the Absolute DB installation set, which is located in the following directory:

\​AbsoluteDatabase\​Ultils\​Bin\​

You can also create an ABS database from your application using the CreateDatabase method of the TABSDatabase component.

NOTE: Absolute Database is used as an alternative to the Borland Database Engine (BDE).
