How to open SQLITE3-JOURNAL file?

An often recurring problem with SQLite Temporary is that SQLITE3-JOURNAL is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that SQLITE3-JOURNAL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SQLITE3-JOURNAL 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the SQLite program installed. To do this, enter the name SQLite into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support SQLITE3-JOURNAL files.

Programs to open SQLITE3-JOURNAL file

Remember to download programs supporting SQLITE3-JOURNAL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of SQLite with SQLITE3-JOURNAL files

If, despite the installed application, the SQLITE3-JOURNAL 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SQLite application as the default for handling the SQLITE3-JOURNAL file.

Step 3. Update SQLite to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the SQLite program, it is possible that SQLite Temporary requires a newer version of the program.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 SQLite Development Team page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SQLITE3-JOURNAL 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 SQLITE3-JOURNAL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SQLITE3-JOURNAL or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SQLITE3-JOURNAL 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 SQLITE3-JOURNAL files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SQLITE3-JOURNAL 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.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SQLITE3-JOURNAL 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SQLITE3-JOURNAL to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SQLITE3-JOURNAL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SQLITE3-JOURNAL file again. 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.
