I Must read a file named pippo.db.
Opening the file with a editor I read:

WATCOM International Corp., Copyright (c) 1987, 1994

If I remember it were the database used from Paradox or Delphi or memory
badly?
Some idea on like approaching? Some manager in order to extract given?
Thanks for whichever suggestion

Paradox indeed used the .db extension, but so did many other products.

The file you have is probably for the Watcom SQL Server database, which
later became the Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere product.

This might be the same product, but I have no idea how old the datafile
is that you have, so it's possible the current version of Sybase can't
read such an old file.

And here's a tool that claims to read Watcom and Sybase ASA databases:
