Connecting and Extracting Data from .ldf file

Hi!

I am trying to fetch full .ldf file from a non-local server to a Qlik Sense Enterprise App. I am not sure if this is feasible or not, so I would appreciate if someone has more information about this.

 

What I though of is to share the folder that the .ldf file is in and then connect to it through ODBC connection. Would this work or not? and if it worked, should I expect facing more challenges on how to read the .ldf file?

 

Thanks!

My only familiarity with LDF files is log files for SQL Server. Those are not intended to be read from as you are trying because they are generally locked because they are constantly being written to. There are tools/methods available to let you read log transactions in other ways other than just pointing to the LDF file(s).
