What is SQLITE-WAL file?

The SQLITE-WAL file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by SQLite Development Team. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. SQLite Quasi-persistent appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use SQLite to handle this file. This is a program created by SQLite Development Team.

How to open SQLITE-WAL file?

The most common problem when using SQLite Quasi-persistent is that a specific SQLITE-WAL is not associated with the program. This causes the file SQLITE-WAL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SQLITE-WAL 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-WAL with SQLite. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SQLITE-WAL files.

Programs to open SQLITE-WAL file

Remember to download programs supporting SQLITE-WAL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of SQLite with SQLITE-WAL files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SQLITE-WAL file to open in the 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SQLITE-WAL file with the SQLite program.

Step 3. Update SQLite to the latest version

If, despite the association of the SQLite program with the SQLite Quasi-persistent 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-WAL file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SQLITE-WAL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SQLITE-WAL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SQLITE-WAL 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 SQLITE-WAL 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SQLITE-WAL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SQLite Development Team, 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 file SQLITE-WAL 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SQLITE-WAL to a different directory.
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 SQLITE-WAL to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SQLITE-WAL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
