How to open S2DB file?

An often recurring problem with SQLite 2.0 Database Format is that S2DB is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open S2DB, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the S2DB 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 Navicat for SQlite

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Navicat for SQlite is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Navicat for SQlite 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 S2DB with Navicat for SQlite. Below you will find a list of applications that support S2DB files.

Step 2. Create association of Navicat for SQlite with S2DB files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the S2DB file to open in the Navicat for SQlite 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. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Navicat for SQlite application as the default for handling the S2DB file.

Step 3. Update Navicat for SQlite to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Navicat for SQlite program, it is possible that SQLite 2.0 Database Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the PremiumSoft CyberTech Ltd. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the S2DB file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the S2DB file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 S2DB file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover S2DB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the S2DB file. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair S2DB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted S2DB files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move S2DB to a different directory.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file S2DB to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
