How to read .DBX format

I have .DBX file which contains tables with data (students, books, other tables and relations between them. Important it's not an email file). I need to retrieve data from it, preferably using Java. How can I do it ? Is it possible ? Or I should convert it into relational structure like tables in RDBMS. If yes, then are there any free tools to do it ? File itself contains just bytes and its size is 65MB. I attempted to read bytes, but I failed with encoding. And I suppose it's not good idea to obtain complicated data with relations by reading bytes. Any ideas ?

The .DBX extension is nothing to do with Visual FoxPro or FoxPro despite multiple incorrect Google results you might see.

It is not the index file for a Visual FoxPro database container (.DBC) as that extension is .DCX, again despite multiple incorrect Google results you might see.

You could maybe try examining the header bytes to find out what it actually is.
