Installing a database with .db extension into SSMS

    Is it possible to install a sample database with a .db extension into SQL server management studio?  I know how to install a database with a .bak extension but it's not working with the .db extension.

    Can you please elaborate further on this? What are you trying to do? What is the source type of the .db file etc.

    SSMS does not host any databases or database files, those must reside on a SQL Server instance.

    ".db" isn't the normal extension for SQL Server databases.  What RDBMS did the ".db" files come from?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
