| Ask the person who provided it to you what type of file it is? It is possible that it is a backup file. If that is the case, you can restore the backup to a SQL Server. |

A backup file of what? Is it a SQL Server backup? If so, just run RESTORE DATABASE (or use the restore database wizard). SQL doesn't care what extension you use.Tara KizerSQL Server MVP since 2007http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |

| Try a restore and see what it says. "sql" can mean a lot of things, like SQL Server, Oracle, MySql, etc.Tara KizerSQL Server MVP since 2007http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |
