SQL.BSQ is an Oracle-supplied bootstrap script associated with Oracle Database, a database management system developed by Oracle. It is probably one of the oldest database scripts and is called during the creation of a database rather than being used as an ordinary application data file.
The script contains database creation statements for establishing foundational structures, including the data dictionary. These structures are required for Oracle Database to manage objects, users, and other database metadata.
Oracle Database is available on multiple platforms. SQL.BSQ is an internal installation file and is normally maintained by the database software rather than edited by database users.
SQL.BSQ is a text-based Oracle Database script, so it can be viewed with a plain-text editor on any supported platform. The file is normally stored within the Oracle Database installation and should not be edited casually.
Oracle Database uses the file as part of database creation. It is not normally opened as a standalone document or run manually.
SQL.BSQ has no practical general-purpose conversion format. It is an Oracle Database bootstrap script, not a database export or portable data file.
When moving database contents, use Oracle Database's supported export and import or migration tools instead of attempting to convert the BSQ file.
