is it possible to extract information from a .mdf file outside SQL server? From another tool, I mean?

Thank you."

I suppose if you're willing to spend the time writing the code yourself, it's possible, but I don't know of any available 3rd party tool.

If you're trying to avoid paying for a SQL Server license, you can use MSDE as your database engine. It's a free download:
