I have a .SQL file downloaded locally, and I've been tasked with extracting a DDL file from it. I'm not sure the best way to go about this, as I only want to analyze the code - not the database. Thanks!
I tried opening the .SQL file in Dataspell, but it was restricted to being read-only because of the file size.

I am looking to attach a .MDF database file via a SQL query that has no .LDF file. That said, I need the .LDF path to be able to be set to a different location from the .MDF.
As far as I can tell CREATE DATABASE...FOR ATTACH doesn't provide this ability.
Any way around this?
sql) that contains all my stored procedures. Now I need the admin to run it in the database without him knowing the contents of the file.

i'm using SQL SERVER 2014 and i didn't have sucess restoring the .sql with cmd..
I have faced this before..Use sqlcmd utility.. very easy to use.. in this case you just have to give the path of one big script file with few other parameters. Refer to microsoft documentation.
Hope that helps
that sucks. you should be able to load the .sql file via command line. this is how most data warehousing companies load large db/sql files in order launch databases. this should NOT be opened with any IDEs and loading it via command line is the only way it's done.
if I were you I'd try to load the file via cmd again because that's the way to do it.
I have a .sql file. How can I convert this .sql file to a .mdf SQL Server database file?
I know that .sql file is nothing but a script file if I open the .sql file in notepad it will show me the db code I can simply copy those code and paste into SQL Server Management Studio.
Is there any other way to convert .sql to .mdf file?
Unless your SQL file contains the script to create a database, your question wouldn't make any sense. If it does contain such script you need an environment to execute it. There are many tools that will allow you to do that. For example, many IDE tools that integrate with SQL Server have such capability.
So to answer your question: it is impossible to convert SQL file to MDF. You, however, can sometimes use an SQL file to build MDF.

Usually, a .sql file is just a text file with SQL queries or PL/SQL blocks or maybe SQL*Plus scripts.
So, yes, you can just edit those in Notepad (if you have no better text editor).
A file with the .sql extension is just to help the reader to know that the file contains SQL. Other than that, a .sql file is the same as .txt. You can save somefile.txt as somefile.sql.
