Navicat for PostgreSQL data synchronization profile file
File type: Settings, options, themes or skins file
An NPPD file is a data synchronization profile used by Navicat for PostgreSQL. It stores the settings for a configured data synchronization task.
The file contains synchronization settings rather than the synchronized database data itself.

The NPPD file extension is associated with Navicat for PostgreSQL, PremiumSoft's database administration and development software. An NPPD file contains a data synchronization profile, including the configuration needed for a synchronization task.
The profile is used by Navicat when setting up or running data synchronization between databases. It is part of the application's configuration data and is not intended to be edited as a standalone document.
NPPD files are supported by Navicat for PostgreSQL and Navicat Premium on Microsoft Windows, Linux/Unix, and macOS. The file should be handled by Navicat or a compatible installation.
Open an NPPD file from within Navicat for PostgreSQL or Navicat Premium. Use the application's data synchronization tools to load or manage the profile rather than opening the file in a general text editor.
These Navicat products support the file on Microsoft Windows, Linux/Unix, and macOS. An NPPD file may not display useful information when opened directly outside Navicat.
An NPPD file is a Navicat synchronization profile, so it is not normally converted to a general-purpose file format. It does not contain the database records being synchronized.
To use the settings in another Navicat installation, load the profile through Navicat if the installation supports it; otherwise, recreate the synchronization task in the application's data synchronization tool.
