What is SQLPLAN file?
The SQLPLAN file has been categorized as Misc Files. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Microsoft SQL Server Data Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file.

This was created by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open SQLPLAN file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft SQL Server Data Format is that a specific SQLPLAN is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SQLPLAN 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 SQLPLAN 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 Microsoft SQL Server
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft SQL Server application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft SQL Server 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 SQLPLAN files.
Programs to open SQLPLAN file
Remember to download programs supporting SQLPLAN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft SQL Server with SQLPLAN files
If, despite the installed application, the SQLPLAN file does not start in the Microsoft SQL Server 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft SQL Server application as the default for handling the SQLPLAN file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft SQL Server to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft SQL Server program with the Microsoft SQL Server Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SQLPLAN file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SQLPLAN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SQLPLAN or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SQLPLAN 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 SQLPLAN file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SQLPLAN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SQLPLAN 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SQLPLAN to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SQLPLAN file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SQLPLAN to close. However, some background programs may block the SQLPLAN file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
