Please I am having an issue with exported database dump file from plesk control panel..

I used SQL server and ASP.net for my project, I uploaded everything as usual, but now I need to make some modifications to my database definitions and attributes, after exporting the database to my local machine, I am having difficulties re-attaching the dump file to SQL SERVER management studio on my PC. How do I go about this? Thanks

What errors are you getting? What exactly are you calling the dump file?

No errors actually, SQL server doesn't seem to recognize the exported file as a database backup.... What I'm calling the dump file is the exported copy of the database that is already hosted on plesk.

What is the file extension of the exported file? Also, why can't you connect directly to the hosted database server using management studio?
