How to open SL2 file?

The most common problem when using SQLite 2.0 Database Format is that a specific SL2 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open SL2, 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 SL2 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the Navicat for SQlite program installed. This can be achieved by typing Navicat for SQlite into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SL2 files.

Step 2. Create association of Navicat for SQlite with SL2 files

If, despite the installed application, the SL2 file does not start in the Navicat for SQlite application, you must create a file association. 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Navicat for SQlite application as the default for handling the SL2 file.

Step 3. Update Navicat for SQlite to the latest version

If, however, after binding Navicat for SQlite with SQLite 2.0 Database Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 SL2 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The SL2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SL2 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SL2 file. Sometimes virus-infected SL2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SL2 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SL2 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SL2 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SL2 file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SL2 to close. However, some background programs may block the SL2 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
