I am guessing you want to know how to read SQL Server database files
directly, without going through the SQL Server database engine. This
information is not published, will never be published, and would be of
little or no use to you if it was published. If you want to get a
taste for the internal complexity of these files see Inside Microsoft
SQL Server 7.0 from Microsoft Press.
SQL Server is nothing like xBase, where a standard file format was
accessed directly by a variety of programs. SQL Server is a client /
server database; the client submits queries to the server, the server
processes the queries (including all file access) and returns results
to the client. There are no shared files at all.
