Normally you don't "edit" MDF files in the conventional sense of editing a text file or other document. You use it by attaching the MDF files to a database server. Once you do that successfully, you can inspect the database in SQL Server Management Studio, delete data from tables etc. Then, when you want to move it to a different location or deploy it, you would back up the database from SSMS and restore it at the target server.
I am not familiar with compact edition. You can download and use the Express Edition of SQL 2012 or an earlier version from Microsoft free of charge. Once you install it, you will have access to a local server and mangement studio. |
