What database engine uses FILE001.DAT, FILE003.DAT, SYMBOLS.IDX?

I am trying to migrate a database, but I cannot find which database it is.

The database files are like the following:

FILE001.DAT
FILE003.DAT
FILE004.DAT
.
.
FILE093.DAT
FILEM02.DBT
FILEM05.DBT
.
.
.
FILEM21.DBT
SYMBOLS.IDX
SYMBOLS.DAT

There are .DAT, .IDX and DBT files. How can I read the data and database schema from these files;

You can find a dBase tool on this link, on the left menu option "database", right menu "MyDBF_3"

Should be dBase, if you have FoxPro laying around then try opening it with that

Per the fileinfo.com entry, this is dBASE.

As for migrating the database, you can try downloading the drivers and connecting via ODBC.
