Hi,
I have an SQL database from our old MSSQL server that is in the format of two files, foo_Data.MDF, and foo_Log.LDF. How can I convert this, WITHOUT RUNNING MSSQL, to another format, such as mdb (access) or even just raw csv (text with comma delimiter).
Are there any pieces of software that allow this, I have search using google, off and on, for well over a year and have never found a solution -- thought I would try here.
Alternatively, if there simply is no possible way to do it without running SQL, then HOW, using the minimum possible steps with minimum possible complexity, can I do this without having to purchase another SQL license and installing a full server install just to get this converted? I don't want an alternative.. I just want to convert it without touching MSSQL, but I ask this, just in case there simply is *no possible way* to do it without.
Also I don't know how the point system works here, but I am happy to offer the maximum possible points for a solution that doesn't include installing mssql (maximum possible means whatever this site will let me, including if I have to pay to get more and give you those I will). If you outline an easy solution that does involve it, I'll give normal award whatever that is.
Thanks!
