    Im currently doing a VA of our MS SQL Database
    servers.
    I was able to download a backup of our MDF file from
    one of the DB Server.

    When i open the MDF file using "vi" editor in UNIX,
    the
    file appears to be cryptic. Is there a way to decipher

    the contents of the file. I would like to show the to
    the
    full extent of the risks involved when an MDF file has

    been captured from a database server.

    Thanks!

    Regards,

    HY
