What is WDT file?
The file with the extension WDT is the Misc Files file type. The author of this format is SYNAMETIRCS. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files.

The main program that supports this format is WinSQL. This was created by SYNAMETIRCS.
How to open WDT file?
The main problem with WinSQL Schema Diff Template is that the WDT file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open WDT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WDT 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 WinSQL
The first step is to check if the computer has the WinSQL program installed. This can be achieved by typing WinSQL 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 WDT with WinSQL. Below you will find a list of applications that support WDT files.
Programs to open WDT file
Remember to download programs supporting WDT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinSQL with WDT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WDT file to open in the WinSQL application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 WDT file with the WinSQL application.
Step 3. Update WinSQL to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WinSQL program with the WinSQL Schema Diff Template 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 SYNAMETIRCS website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WDT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the WDT file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WDT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WDT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of WDT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WDT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SYNAMETIRCS help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WDT 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move WDT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the WDT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
