View SQL Server MDF Databases with DataNumen MDF Viewer
Launch DataNumen MDF Viewer.
Attention: Shut down other apps that could alter the MDF file before you start.
Choose the file that you would like to view, by entering the MDF file name or clicking the button. Also, you can use the button to search for it.
In case there is one or multiple NDF files associated with the damaged MDF file, add them as well:
Specify the format of the source database file if you know it:
If you do not specify the format, then DataNumen MDF Viewer will try to analyze the source file to detect the format.
Click the "Start Load" button and DataNumen MDF Viewer will prompt a "Connect to SQL Server" dialog box, as it needs to connect to a SQL Server instance to view the MDF file:
Set the Server Name and Authentication for the SQL Server instance on the local or remote computer. Then, click the "OK" button. Our MDF view software will try to detect the collation of the source database. If it cannot detect the collation, it will ask you about it. Then it will load the entire database and show the data in the MDF file.
The bar displays the progress of the load process.
Once the process is complete, you will see the data in the MDF file.
