If you have SQL Server Management Studio you should be able to attach them with the attach command. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190209.aspx

If you don't you can download express versions from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/express/Database/InstallOptions.aspx

Assuming you want to execute the statements against a SQL server DB, there's documentation for using osql.exe here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa213087%28v=sql.80%29.aspx

You can also open the files in notepad (as one of the comments suggested) and copy and paste from this into your favorite DB Query tool (Query Analyzer for SQL2000, SQL Server Management Studio or Visual Studio for SQL Server 2005 and above, or any of the myriad of other tools available)
