You’d need to install some version of SQL Server, then re-attach the MDF file. However, if you don’t have the matching LDF file (the log file), you don’t have the whole database. Because of this, an MDF file is not the correct way to transfer databases between servers. Instead, you need to make a backup using SQL Server Manager, then restore the backup on the other server. If you need more information take a look here: how to open mdf file?
Hello experts. Are there members who use Microsoft SQL Server? There's a .mdf extension file that I could open in Dell Inspiron i7559-2512BLK on Windows 8.1. However, after the Windows 10 update, I suddenly can't open it anymore. It gives the following message, Access is denied. I googled for this, i get many solutions for all other databases except .mdf file issue. Can someone help me? TY for you time and attention
Access is denied
