The SQC file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the SQC files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the SQC file on each system platform.
What is SQC file?
The SQC file has been categorized as Misc Files. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Structured Query Language (SQL) Common Code Data Format is supported by 3 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is SQL Anywhere. This was created by Sybase Inc.. This file type can also be opened by 3 other programs. The Oracle Database, SQL Anywhere/Unix programs will also handle the file when the SQL Anywhere program does not fulfill its role.
How to open SQC file?
An often recurring problem with Structured Query Language (SQL) Common Code Data Format is that SQC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SQC 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 SQC 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 SQL Anywhere
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SQL Anywhere is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SQL Anywhere 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 SQC with SQL Anywhere. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SQC files.
Programs to open SQC file
Remember to download programs supporting SQC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SQL Anywhere with SQC files
If, despite the installed application, the SQC file does not start in the SQL Anywhere 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SQC file with the SQL Anywhere application.
Step 3. Update SQL Anywhere to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SQL Anywhere program with the Structured Query Language (SQL) Common Code Data 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 Sybase Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SQC 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SQC file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SQC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SQC 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 SQC files changes over time. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SQC 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 SQC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SQC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 SQC to close. However, some background programs may block the SQC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
