You can open it with a script or program.  This is a copy of the bitcoin blockchain. Downloads a blockchain parser in any programming language from github or create a blockchain parser.

These are LevelDB database files. They are not meant to be accessed directly: The format may not be what you expect, it is not the same as a relational database model. You would typically access them directly through a scripting language like python and a leveldb library.

If you do however want to 'directly dive in and interface' with the database through a GUI, there are tools such as http://protonail.com/products/keylord (http://protonail.com/products/keylord) available.

Very interesting, I went looking for a GUI LevelDB tool some time ago and couldn't find one.

I guess the fact that it's called 'keylord' doesn't help when doing a google search. Maybe I went looking so long ago it didn't exist back then.
