从.mdf文件创建数据库而不附加数据库？

Question

I have an .mdf file, and I'd like to create a database from it on my computer. But I'd like to create it without attaching it to the .mdf file.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

如果您尝试将MDF用作模板，以创建另一个数据库，则可以将其简单地复制到新文件中，然后附加到副本中-但是也许如果您解释了您要完成的工作以及为什么可以这样做，附加到MDF上，可能会得到更好的帮助。

Answer 2

You can create database from your mdf file,please see my example below

USE [master]
GO
CREATE DATABASE [DatabaseName] ON 
( FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\...mdf' ),
( FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\...ldf' )
FOR ATTACH ;
GO

in case if you dont have the /ldf file : use this

EXEC sp_attach_single_file_db @dbname = 'pubs',
@physname = 'C:\MSSQL\Data\pubs.mdf'
