sql server - What is an MDF file? -
Is it like an "embedded" database type? Is there a file created in a database?
SQL Server databases use two files - an MDF file, known as primary See the database file, which includes schema and data, and an LDF file, which contains the logs. A database can also use a secondary database file, which usually uses the .ndf extension.
As John S. indicates, these file extensions are purely conferences - you can use whatever you want, although I do not think there is a good reason to do this.
