What is SQLITE-SHM file?
The file with the extension SQLITE-SHM is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by SQLite Development Team. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files.

The SQLite application is recommended to open the file. It was released by SQLite Development Team.
How to open SQLITE-SHM file?
The most common problem when using SQLite Shared Memory is that a specific SQLITE-SHM is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SQLITE-SHM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SQLITE-SHM 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 SQLite
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SQLite is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SQLite into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SQLITE-SHM with SQLite. Below you will find a list of applications that support SQLITE-SHM files.
Programs to open SQLITE-SHM file
Remember to download programs supporting SQLITE-SHM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SQLite with SQLITE-SHM files
If, despite the installed application, the SQLITE-SHM file does not start in the SQLite application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SQLite application as the default for handling the SQLITE-SHM file.
Step 3. Update SQLite to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SQLite program with the SQLite Shared Memory 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 SQLite Development Team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SQLITE-SHM 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 suggests truncating the SQLITE-SHM file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SQLITE-SHM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SQLITE-SHM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SQLITE-SHM file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SQLITE-SHM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SQLite Development Team help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SQLITE-SHM 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the SQLITE-SHM file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SQLITE-SHM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SQLITE-SHM file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
