I'm new to sql. I have a .mdf file & I have sql server 2016. Can you please help me import the .mdf file using sql server 2016 & view the .mdf file content?
I want to view the data of .mdf file
If your mdf file is a database's data file (what the file extension implies), Import-Export Wizard will not understand it.
Instead, you should attach this file as a database. For exact syntax, see documentation, specifically you'll be interested in the attach_rebuild_log option.
I have a plesk account and an MS SQL database from which I got a dump through this interface they provide:
So I downloaded the dump file but it does not come as a .txt file but it comes without any extension and when I try to import it in my local MS SQL Server it fails always.
And when I try to open the dump file with notepad it shows weird characters(see picture below).
What am I doing wrong?
I got it to work by extracting the dump file from the zip and renaming it with a .bak extension. Then did a Database restore in MS SQL Management Studio and selected this backup file (.bak). Hope that helps.
I finally found my way using a php script found on github I had to fork it to update couple things cause it became obsolete.
I had to go this way for couple reasons:
I didn't have admin access to the plesk server to enable remote DB access
I wasn't able to export it into any format readable by mysql
So with the php script i could load it unto the server and run it,
The script copies an MSSQL into MySQL. Here is my fork.
I want to open an .bak file that was created with SQL Server. There is some method to open that database with any other program?
Thanks.
I suppose that you are a Windows user, then, you can use Notepad to browse the database if you just need to check some records.
Ok, I know this may sound stupid but, is there any way to deploy a database from a .bak file exported from SQL Server into any kind of Mac software? If there, which one?
If that is not possible, is there a way that I could deploy that database if I first deploy it into SQL Server and export it, maybe in a different way?
Thanks in advance.
The bak file created by SQL Server is a database backup file, and you will only be able to restore it to a Microsoft SQL Server instance.
If you want to port a MSSQL database to some other RDBMS, your best bet is to use a tool for migrating the data directly from the running MSSQL datbbase to another running RDBMS. Perhaps a third party tool, or you could build an SSIS package to do the migration.
You can create a MySQL database and try the MySQL migration tool.
But just given a .bak file, you will not be able simply to read the file; you will need to extract data from a running database instance.
Is it possible to access the queries and procedures in a file created by SQL Server without installing SQL Server? Problem is that I am having problems to install the SQL server / Express version.
When all else fails - always try to open files in notepad and see what happens.
In this case, .sql files definitely can be opened with notepad - they are just text files. The extension is just there to give you the ability to double-click on them and by default open in Management Studio (or whatever you want to use to edit SQL files).
