| Hi,Is it possible to attach a database file in SQL server express if the database itself was created with a non express version of SQL server? We have had a dispute with a company that had provided us with a software package wherein the data was stored on a database on their server. As part of the resolution of the dispute we asked for and they have agreed to give us a copy of the data that was collected for the year or so that we used their product.They want to provide us with the SQL server file that has the data in it and have told us that we will be able to read it with the Express edition of SQL server. I don't have any significant experience with SQL server.Are there any potential problems that we might run into in this scenario?Thanks for any help. |
