A TAG (DataFlex Query Tag) file extension is a type of text file created mainly with DataFlex software programs. The main purpose of the file is to store Database Query Language (DQL) code that can be used to retrieve information quickly from large databases. The TAG files contain the DQL code in an easily readable and writeable format for DataFlex applications. They are mainly used for retrieving information from data in a set of separate project databases, as well as updating packages.
Technical Details
The TAG files have the file extension.TAG, and they are generally saved in plain text format using the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) character set encoding standard. Moreover, these files do not require specific software to be opened or read but can also be opened with most text editors. In addition, they support complex programming features such as looping and chaining - resulting in powerful scripts that can be used for automating processes and tasks related to data management.
Similar File Extensions
Other file extensions typically associated with Database Query Language (DQL) code include .COMMAND, .STC, .VAR, and .LNK.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .TAG) 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 .TAG 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 .TAG 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 .TAG 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 .TAG extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .TAG file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .TAG 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 .TAG file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .TAG file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .TAG file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
