How to open BTQ file?
The most common problem when using Teradata Database Query Script Format is that a specific BTQ is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open BTQ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BTQ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Teradata Database
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Teradata Database is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Teradata Database into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BTQ files.
Programs to open BTQ file
Remember to download programs supporting BTQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Teradata Database with BTQ files
If, despite the installed application, the BTQ file does not start in the Teradata Database application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BTQ file with the Teradata Database program.
Step 3. Update Teradata Database to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Teradata Database program, it is possible that Teradata Database Query Script Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Teradata website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BTQ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The BTQ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BTQ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BTQ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BTQ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of BTQ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BTQ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BTQ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the BTQ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the BTQ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the BTQ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
