About FRM

FRM is a file extension for formatting used with MySQL. Contains the formatting information or structure data for a database; specifies the tables stored in the database and defines the fields and structure of each table.

FRM files are saved along with an .MYD file, which contains the actual data stored in the database. Both files are necessary for MySQL to recognize the database. If the MySQL database uses MyISAM tables, an .MYI file is also used and required.

FRM extension for files are used for more applications. These files contain forms that have been created by a variety of software applications. The forms are used to define the fields within a table and to store data within a database. MySQL, Microsoft Visual Basic, Corel WordPerfect, iBlaze and MYOB are some of the applications that use the .frm file extension for form file purposes.

The FRM file extension is also used by the PhotoFrame software application. This program uses the .frm file suffix for picture image files.

Files that contain the .frm file suffix are also used by the Corel Painter software application. This program uses the FRM files for frame stack files.
