How to open Windev HFSQL Fic files


I'm trying to read a FIC file that is not encrypted (indeed, the data can almost be read when displaying it). I want to convert this file to a more convenient format, CSV, XML, SQL, etc...

When I try to open it with Windev Express 19, I have an error telling me that the file is password protected. But If there really was a password, the file would be encrypted (I think).

If someone has any idea about what could be the problem. Or any suggestion, I'd be glad.


Solution

  • The FIC extension is not only used by Windev but also by Pervasive SQL. One should also check if it can be opened using Pervasive clients.
