It might be a Berkeley DB database so there are libraries for most languages
and it will probably be installed in Ubuntu, so copy the file over to your
computer and try db_dump <filename>. There is a viewer here:
http://tlzprgmr.wordpress.com/2010/03/02/berkeley-db-viewer/ but the format
isn't very human readable and quite easy to break.

Having said that, it could be a text file or some other kind of binary file
so try viewing it with less or strings.
