title: SQL Server MDF file
body: <p>I am working on a website that has access data from a database (sql server). It will also be adding, updating deleting records in the database. It seems like there is an MDF file that gets created containing the database schema and all the records I guess? Once development is complete and I want to move this database to a real server then all I need to do is move this MDF file to the real server and that is it? is it that simple? or not really?</p>
  
  <p>Also, I hope the MDF file is not a read-only file and can be updated/modified or is it?</p>
