title: Project Rider Local Database File
body: <p>I am looking for a way to include a standart .MDF database to my C# project in Project Rider. I really like the way it works with Databases.</p>
  
  <p>I know that Visual Studio uses Microsoft SQL Server databases, even for local ones, but i can't use a local file of .MDF type for an SQL Server in Porject Rider.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to accomplish the connection? If not, what could be a good alternative for a local database?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks! </p>
