Corel Paradox secondary index file
File type: Various data file
Files with the .x02 file extension are secondary index files used by Corel Paradox.
An x02 file is an auxiliary file associated with a Paradox database table. It contains index information rather than the table's primary data.

The .x02 file extension is associated with Corel Paradox, a relational database management system from Corel Corporation that was also included in some editions of the Corel WordPerfect Office suite.
An x02 file contains information for a secondary index. Paradox uses this index to organize and locate records through a field or set of fields other than the table's primary index. The file belongs with the related Paradox table and is not normally useful as a standalone database.
Corel Paradox and the associated Corel WordPerfect Office software are available for Microsoft Windows. The x02 format is a legacy database format and is generally encountered as part of an existing Paradox database rather than as a file created by newer database software.
Open the associated Paradox database or table in Corel Paradox on Microsoft Windows. The x02 file is a supporting index file and is normally accessed automatically when Paradox opens the database; it is not intended to be opened separately.
Keep the x02 file with the other files belonging to the same table.
An x02 file is an index, not a standalone data file, so it does not have a useful independent conversion. To migrate the information, open the associated table in Corel Paradox, export the table data to a format supported by the software, and recreate the required indexes in the destination database.
