File Extension Database

Open SQL File

An SQL extension file is a file written in the Structured Query Language.

This file contains SQL code used to modify the content of a relational database.

SQL files can also contain statements to create or modify database structures, inserts, updates, deletions, and other SQL operations.

SQL files can be read by any SQL-compatible database program.

SQL files are written in plain text (ASCII) and can contain different types of information defined in your code.

Open an SQL file

To be queried and executed correctly, the SQL file must be opened with a database program that supports the SQL structured query language.

However, a simple text editor can be used to edit and write SQL files, as it is a plain text file.

It is important to consider that SQL files can be copied to any mobile device or platform, but it may not be possible to open them properly on the target system.
