MDF - Basic Question

Is it possible to 'query' an mdf file using MS Jet Provider or
somethnig like jet provider without having to 'attach' the mdf as a
database on SqlServer. Thanks.No. You must have a SQL Server engine to connect to it. You could install
MSDE (SQL Server 2000) or SQL Server Express (SQL Server 2005) and use it.
