Navicat for MySQL export view result profile file
File type: Settings, options, themes or skins file
The NPEV file extension identifies a Navicat for MySQL export view result profile file. It stores a saved profile for exporting the results of a database view.
An NPEV file is an application settings file for Navicat, not the exported view data itself.
File type category:
Settings, options, themes or skins file

Navicat for MySQL uses NPEV files to retain options for an export operation involving view results. The profile allows those options to be reused instead of configured again.
Navicat is database management software from PremiumSoft. NPEV files belong to its export-profile system and are not intended as general-purpose data exchange files.
Navicat for MySQL and Navicat Premium support the relevant workflows on Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS. The NPEV format is application-specific, and its contents are normally managed by compatible Navicat software rather than edited manually.
Install a compatible version of Navicat for MySQL or Navicat Premium for the platform on which the file is being used. Open the export workflow for a view and use its profile controls to load the NPEV file; double-clicking the file may not open it directly.
Navicat for MySQL and Navicat Premium are available for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS. If the file is not recognized, it may have been created by a Navicat version or edition that does not support the profile.
An NPEV file is a saved export profile, so it has no useful standalone conversion to a document or data format. To use the settings elsewhere, load the profile in Navicat when supported or recreate the export options in the destination installation.
To convert the actual view results, run the export in Navicat and choose one of the data formats offered by its export workflow. This converts the results, not the NPEV profile.
