title: SQL Server: Importing database from .mdf?
body: <p>I have an .mdf file on my local box.</p>
  
  <p>I have SQL Server 2008 Express and SQL Management Studio 2008 Express installed on my local box.</p>
  
  <p>How in the world do I import this .mdf file as a new database into my SQL Server?</p>
  
  <p>This seems like a ridiculously common task that must be performed thousands of times a day across the globe, and I cannot figure out how to do it in Management Studio Express.</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing?</p>
