4D SQL is a database management system and application development tool from 4D, available on multiple platforms. This particular rex file is associated with the Windows client.
The rex file stores local data used by the 4D database Windows client. It is an auxiliary file belonging to the client environment rather than a general-purpose document.
The file is intended to be managed by 4D SQL and is not normally edited independently. Its use is specific to the Windows client.
Open the rex file through the corresponding 4D database Windows client. It is a local 4D client file, so it is not normally opened directly or edited with a text editor.
If the file is encountered outside its 4D installation or database environment, 4D SQL may not be able to use it without the related client data.
A rex file is an internal local file for the 4D database Windows client and does not normally have a useful standalone conversion format.
To move or reuse the information managed by 4D SQL, use the database application's own export or data migration features rather than attempting to convert the rex file directly.
