The .OPT file extension is a data file created by MySQL, an open source relational database management system used to store, organize, and retrieve large amounts of data. It is mainly used on web servers and websites hosted with the LAMP stack software bundle. The bundle includes Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. The file itself contains information about the storage engine for the MySQL table, such as the estimated size, row type, and index type.
Database Data File
The .OPT file is sometimes known as a "database data file"though it is not technically part of the database itself. It allows MySQL to make calculations about how the database will store and use information more efficiently. It can tell MySQL to use better tables or make adjustments to improve performance when storing certain types of data. This type of file is especially helpful on websites that depend heavily upon databases for content management.
Similar Files
The .OPT file is a part of MySQL but there are several other files associated with databases including: .DAT, .MDX, .QRY, and .DBF. All these files contain some form of data that allows users to interact and update the database properly.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .OPT) 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 .OPT 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 .OPT 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 .OPT 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 .OPT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .OPT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .OPT 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 .OPT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .OPT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .OPT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
