I don't think there is any specific logic behind the file names really, it's just what the naming convention was at the time the databases were created. The actual database name is independent of the file name (and a database can consist of multiple files anyway, so it wouldn't make much sense to name the files after the database).

IN Sql2k, I created, attach and detach database manytimes. SOme time its shows the database file name as "xxx_data.mdb and xxx_log.mdb" and sometimes it only shows file name as "xxx.mdf and xxx.ldf", why? However in Enterprise manager it shows database na as "xxx". I just want to know difference these file name conventions, what was the logic behind this? --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
