The DQL file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the DQL files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the DQL file on each system platform.
What is DQL file?
The DQL file has been categorized as Database Files. The author of this format is Sapphire Group. Additionally, the Database Files category contains 403 of other files. DataEase Database is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The DataEase application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Sapphire Group.
How to open DQL file?
An often recurring problem with DataEase Database is that DQL is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DQL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DQL 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 DataEase
In this case, you should first verify that the DataEase application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DataEase into the system search engine. 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 DQL.
Programs to open DQL file
Remember to download programs supporting DQL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DataEase with DQL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DQL file to open in the DataEase application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the DataEase application as the default for handling the DQL file.
Step 3. Update DataEase to the latest version
If, however, after binding DataEase with DataEase Database there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Sapphire Group website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DQL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The DQL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DQL file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DQL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DQL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DQL files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DQL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Sapphire Group, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DQL files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DQL to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DQL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
