How to open DATABASE file?
The main problem with Serato DJ Database Format is that the DATABASE file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DATABASE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DATABASE 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 Serato DJ
In this case, you should first verify that the Serato DJ application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Serato DJ in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file DATABASE.
Programs to open DATABASE file
Remember to download programs supporting DATABASE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Serato DJ with DATABASE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DATABASE file to open in the Serato DJ application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DATABASE file with the Serato DJ program.
Step 3. Update Serato DJ to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Serato DJ program with the Serato DJ Database Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Serato website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DATABASE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The DATABASE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DATABASE file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DATABASE or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DATABASE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DATABASE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DATABASE 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.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DATABASE except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the DATABASE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DATABASE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
