Navicat for SQLite export query result profile file
File type: Settings, options, themes or skins file
A .nlpeq file is a saved export query result profile for Navicat for SQLite. It stores settings used when exporting the results of a database query.
It is a Navicat settings file, not the exported query data itself.

The NLPEQ format is a proprietary profile format used by PremiumSoft's Navicat database software. An NLPEQ file contains the saved options for exporting query results, allowing those options to be reused instead of configured again.
The profile belongs to the export workflow and does not contain a standalone copy of the database or query-result data. It is intended to be used with Navicat for SQLite or a compatible edition of Navicat Premium.
Navicat for SQLite and Navicat Premium support the relevant products on Microsoft Windows, Linux and macOS. The file is an application settings profile rather than a general-purpose data-exchange format.
Open or load the file from the query-result export workflow in Navicat for SQLite or Navicat Premium. Use a Navicat installation for Windows, Linux or macOS that supports the profile; an ordinary text editor or database application will not interpret it correctly.
If the file is not recognized, use the Navicat product and platform that created it and access it through the export profile controls rather than trying to open it as a document.
An NLPEQ file normally cannot be meaningfully converted to another file format because it stores Navicat-specific export settings, not data. To use the settings elsewhere, recreate the export options in the destination software.
To obtain data in another format, load the profile in Navicat and export the query results to one of the data formats supported by that Navicat installation. This converts the query results, not the NLPEQ profile itself.
