I may need to look at a few MS sql databases, all I will get is the *.MDF file. Can these be opened and browsed using UniDac?

Hello

No, you cannot. Some databases (for example: SQLite, MS Access, InterBase/Firebird) allow to open standalone data files and provide DLL for it. But some databases don't allow do it (for example: MS SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL) and their data file can be open by a database server only.
