I have a .MDF file which is of SQL Server 2008.

But I don’t have SQL Server 2008 I only have SQL Server 2005.

Now I am required to attach that .MDF to my SQL Server 2005 instance.

Is there any way to do this?

I don’t want to use SQL Server 2008.

Is there any way to convert .MDF to lower version of SQL Server?

    No, there isn’t any way. You will need to attach it to a 2008 instance then export the data.
