I don't think I've ever seen that in MySQL .. Isn't it dBase format?

in a linux environment, there are no 'extensions' that indicate the type of a file... It's just a name...

I'm pretty sure there are a couple of websites that return the most common mime-types that are related a certain extension... http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=dbf

from what I read on php.net, dbase is basically useless as far as php goes... am I correct in this statement?
