mdf

I'm making a Win app on the 3.5 framework. I'd like to include a database file with the app. This would a single-user db. I looked at the 2 different types of db files I can add, the sdf and mdf. Thw sdf (compact) db is missing some functionality I need, so I prefer the mdf. The description on the mdf file "Service oriented database file" leads me to believe that whoever installed my application would also have to install the SQL service required to access that mdf. Is this correct? Yes. MDF is just a file and needs a SQL Server database engine to use it. Yes, at a minimum SQL Express would be

What would happen if I delete the .ldf file that is in the same folder that my .mdf file? Dustin Laine The LDF file is the transaction log and is required for all SQL server configurations. Depending on the recovery mode , will determine how it is used. However all queries basically get stored here until successfully committed to the database (MDF). You will not be able to delete it while SQL server service is running. You can detach the database, delete the log file (LDF) and reattach the data file (MDF). However it will just create a new log file. You really should not need to delete it. If

I got an issue and learned something at the same time.... I created a DBML from an existing server database. From the DBML I wanted to create local database (an .mdf file). I created the database using DataContext.CreateDatabase("C:\xxxx.mdf") . Then I decided to delete it (MANUALLY, which is a bad thing evidentally) because when I try to recreate the database with the same name (eventhough the files are deleted), I get the error Database already exist. Choose a Different Name using CreateDatabase() I tried looking through the registry, no luck... I tried searching the whole hard drive for the

I am creating a window application that need to use sql server database. I want to install this application to client machine without installing sql server so that my application can still connect to a database i.e mdf file that i will be providing at client system. How can i connect to a database(mdf) on client machine through my window application without installing sql server. ? I dont know is it possible or not. If possible what will be the connection string in that case. Database need not be used in network. Client mahine dont need any installation. Every thing needs to be run through pen

I created a .mdf file by SQL Server and put it to a local file. I run my program in a computer which has no SQL Server installed. And also I used classes from the System.Data.SqlClient namespace (i.e. SqlConnection ..) I want to make some kind access connection with .mdf file which was created by SQL Server? Is it possible ? I don't think it is possible to interact with an MDF file without going through a SQL Server engine. You would most likely install SQL Server Express (which should be an option if you choose to go through add/remove programs for Visual Studio, or you can download it
