A TQL file extension is commonly associated with Tandem Computers' programming language - Tandem Query Language (TQL). TQL is a database-wide, fully compiled high-level procedural language that involves direct operations like file opening, reading, and writing. The file extension is .TQL and is only used by the HP NonStop SQL programming language.
Opening TQL files
Opening a TQL file is not very different from opening any other file type. The process is dependent on the software that supports such file types. For TQL files, the main software that can interpret and open them is the HP NonStop SQL software. More information on this software can be found on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
Viewing TQL Files
Viewing a TQL file, like opening it, also requires HP NonStop SQL software. After installing the software, all your .TQL file extensions should be automatically associated with this software. If for any reason they are not, you should manually associate them. The procedure to do so can be typically found on the software's Help Menu.
Editing TQL Files
Editing TQL files is also done using HP NonStop SQL software. Once the file is open, you can make any necessary adjustments according to your needs. Remember to save all changes before closing the file to prevent loss of any made changes. The Micro Focus NonStop Tools Help has some detailed guides on this.
TQL File Important Information
Despite their associated software, TQL files are simple text files. Thus, they can also be opened and edited with a simple text editor, though it's not recommended due to the potential loss of formatting and code syntax structure. Also, TQL files should not be deleted if you are not confident about their usage, as this might cause related applications to stop working.
