The PKB file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the PKB files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the PKB file on each system platform.
What is PKB file?
The file with the extension PKB is the Data Files file type. The author of this format is Oracle. Additionally, the Data Files category contains 1326 of other files. Oracle Package Body Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs. You can use Text editor in case PL/SQL software cannot be used.
How to open PKB file?
An often recurring problem with Oracle Package Body Format is that PKB is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PKB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PKB 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 PL/SQL software
The first step is to check if the computer has the PL/SQL software program installed. This can be achieved by typing PL/SQL software into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PKB with PL/SQL software. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PKB files.
Programs to open PKB file
Remember to download programs supporting PKB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PL/SQL software with PKB files
If, despite the installed application, the PKB file does not start in the PL/SQL software 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. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PKB file with the PL/SQL software application.
Step 3. Update PL/SQL software to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the PL/SQL software program, it is possible that Oracle Package Body Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PKB 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PKB file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PKB or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PKB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PKB files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PKB file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PKB 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the PKB file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PKB file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
