Cannot open database.mdf after opening in Visual Studio 2012

Question

Ive been working on some stuff with Visual Studio 2008, and SQL 2008 aswell.. Then i opened the project on another computer with 2012 version.

And now when im trying to work with the files in 2008 again, i cant open my database.mdf, becouse the 2012 sql has upgraded my database file...

Anything i can do to save it? (Btw. the data aint that important, but more the whole table setup and relations)

Answer 1

Install 2012 SQL Server Express with Management tools, attach the MDF and extract the schema by generating "create" scripts for the objects you want using the wizard, then re-run the scripts on the new 2008 DB, don't think there's a way to downgrade. See here.
Or you can just keep developing on top of SQL2012, shouldn't be a problem even if you use visual studio 2008.
