Opening a DHT File

The DHT file type is primarily associated with SQLite.

DHT	File extension: DHT
	File type:	Database file

What is a DHT file?

DHT files mostly belong to SQLite. Main Use:

This file often uses an internal SQL format to store a complete SQLite database. The file holds tables, indexes, and queries in one self-contained unit. This structure lets apps read and write data quickly. For more details, see the SQLite website.

Other Use:

Some DHT files serve as student data files. They work with the PACT Data Handler system and follow a specific format to store educational records.

FilExt.com notes: These files are meant to manage structured information. They can be opened with a SQLite browser or, if they belong to the PACT system, with the corresponding data handler software. Always back up your file before editing it.

How to open DHT files

You need a suitable software like SQLite to open a DHT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your DHT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a DHT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

DHT file format details:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. In the following you will find our evaluation of the DHT files:

As a file extension, DHT isn't very common and mainly uses a defined DHT format. However, the following two file formats are common:

• 75% of all DHT files internally utilize the SQL file format. An SQL file contains a lightweight SQLite database, widely used in application development for storing application related data. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. DHT files are between 69 KB and 85 MB in size. The file type is a fairly new file format. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as SQLite format 3. archive.dht is a typical file name. These files can be linked to server, glenland and nsoc.
• 9% of all DHT files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters ""PROCNUM","HSCODE","DISTRICT_CODE","STATEH","GRPCO" at the beginning. These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. The average file size is 220 KB with most files being between 67 KB and 470 KB in size. The keywords "PROCNUM","HSCODE","DISTRICT_CODE","STATEH","GRPCODE","SORTCODE","CYCLE","EQUATE","TESTCNTR","CNTRCODE","BLANK","LASTNAME","FRSTNAME","MIDINITL","BLANK","DOCID","DOB","GENDERA","ETHNIC","BLANK","REPOR are typical for these files. Files like these have the following tags: school, pact and high.

The remaining 16% of all DHT files are different files with different signatures, frequently e.g. DHT. If you want to find out what your DHT file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
