Hi All

I have bought this book called " The complete reference guide to SQL'. I'm trying to read throught it etc, however it brings a cd with the sample db that is used through out the book, it mentions that you can load it and use it to practice..........however all the files are in .DAT format and I have no idea how to load it into SQL server 2000 :(

Can anyone help please ?

Thanks in advance

Check the date of publication, it sounds like you've got a book for SQL Server 6.5 or earlier. .DAT was the default extension used at the time. It's possible that it could be a compressed file with a .DAT extension, but I doubt it.
