BrioQuery database
File type: Database file
A .bqy file is a BrioQuery query and report document used with databases and client/server database systems.
It belongs to the legacy BrioQuery application for Microsoft Windows. Despite its database-file classification, a .bqy file generally stores the query, report design, and related instructions rather than the database itself.

BrioQuery was an ad hoc query and reporting application developed for client/server database environments. Its .bqy files contain the information needed to run or display a query or report, including the report design and its database-related settings.
BrioQuery was later associated with Hyperion's performance-management products. Oracle acquired Hyperion, and BrioQuery is now a legacy product that is no longer generally available or supported as a standalone application.
The format was intended for use on Microsoft Windows. Older deployments could also use a BrioQuery browser plug-in to view reports, but that option is unlikely to work with current web browsers.
MIME type: application/x-brioquery
Open a .bqy file with the original BrioQuery software on Microsoft Windows. Because the application is legacy software, it may be difficult to obtain or run on current systems.
Some older BrioQuery installations could display files through a web browser plug-in. Current browsers generally do not support such plug-ins, so this is not a practical modern opening method.
No specific conversion method is known for the BrioQuery .bqy format. If the file can be opened in BrioQuery or a compatible legacy Hyperion installation, use that software's reporting or export features to save the report or its query results in a supported format.

The bqy file extension is associated with ShrinkIt. "Squeezed" (i.e., compressed with a different algorithm than the one used by ShrinkIt) files within a Binary II envelope.
Created with the utility BLU, these files can be unpacked with ShrinkIt.
Probably not meant to be accessed by the user.
Probably cannot be converted to anything else.
