The FIC (WinDev Hyper File Database) file extension is used for databases created by Windev software. It is a powerful and popular suite of tools for rapidly creating and deploying robust, multi- platform database applications in both stand-alone and networked environments. The FIC file extension is proprietary, meaning it can only be opened using either the Windows version of Windev or a text editor without access to the proprietary code. FIC files are quite different from other database files like Access ( .accdb) and SQLite ( .sqlite) files, as they are not saved in any specific format but rather as a collection of codes that Windev can understand. FIC databases have a relatively small file size and can handle large data amounts efficiently.
Similar file formats include:
Features
FIC files contain all the necessary data to run the database application such as tables, queries, reports, field definitions, records etc. All of the relationships between data are stored in plain text fields and can be accessed using SQL or through the predefined API provided by Windev. The data storing techniques employed by the FIC file are very efficient which enables fast search capabilities and easy adaptation for future changes. Windev has various index and search engines specifically tailored to handle large FIC file databases which enhance scalability of the system.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FIC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FIC extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FIC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FIC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FIC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FIC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FIC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FIC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FIC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FIC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
