Hi, after I restored a database from somewhere.
I found that there are abcd.mdf,abcd_00_01.ndf,abcd_00_02.ndf,abcd_log.ldf.

My question is can I merge mdf and ndf files together.
Finally I only have abcd.mdf and abcd_log.ldf.


Thanks.

Well ... you can merge them, however someone presumably carefully?? segregated some indexes / tables into separate tables for performance reasons - probably intended that they would be mounted on separate drives.

If the multiple files aren't bothering you I would leave them alone.
