View 1 RepliesHow do I move the tempdb to a different drive? It can't be dropped and it is automatically put on the same drive as the master during installation. I have moved a transaction log to a different drive, but I can't change the tempdb location. Please help.

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to change the location of 'tempdb.mdf'
It locates in C drive but I want to move to D drive because D has much more space than C in my computer.
Thanks,
Mike
We have three separate disks for our sql server.
Disk c : system
Disk d : data
Disk e : logs
A couple of months ago our IT manager moved the tempdb database from the c drive to the d and e drives because it had grown to 9Gb and the c drive had run out of space. When I discovered this, I shrank tempdb back to it's specified size of 1.9Gb and now I want to move it back to the c drive because I believe we will see better performance with the system + tempdb together than with the data/logs + tempdb together. Am I correct?
A couple of notes. Server is used exclusively by SQL server. We have three large databases (40Gb, 20Gb, 15Gb), three databases around 4Gb databases and around 15 smaller databases. Most of them are accessed exclusively from a web application.
How do I move the location of the tempdb. I wish to place it on a separated
disk to to increase performance.

When SQLserver2K was installed it placed master, model, msdb, tempdb data files in the installation location (i.e. C:Program Files....). This puts pressure on the C: drive, which also holds the page/swapfile. I want to move at least the tempdb location to the new 'Default data directory' and log directory we set after installation (i.e. E:MSSQLData).
How do I get tempdb to relocate to E: given that it gets recreated each time SQLserver starts?
TIA,
Al
I have a situation where I would like to move the physical location of the Model, tempdb and MSDB database files. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Need Some Advice€¦
Current Setup of the Databases:
All €śsystem databases€? + €śreportserver & reportservertempdb€? are on €ś D drive€? --- Raid 1 ( Mirrored) and their location is : D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData
Free Space left on "D" Drive is # 18 Gb.
€śUser Databases€? are on ---- €śE Drive€? --- Raid 5 and their location is E:Datadb
Now , we got new storage device with much larger capacity. So, we are planning to transfer our databases on this new drive which is €śRAID 5€?.
My question is:
(1) Should I transfer all the databases ( (i.e.) €śsystem databases€?+ €śreportserver & ReportServerTempdb€? + €śUser databases€?) on that new drive ( RAID 5).
(OR)
(2) Keep the €śsystem databases€? + €śReportServer& ReportServerTempdb€? on the old
drive (i.e.) RAID 1 and Transfer only the €śUSER Databases€? on that new drive (i.e.) RAID 5.
(OR)
(3) Transter only Tempdb to the new drive (i.e.) on Raid 5, so as to avoid any I/O congestion. and keep all other system & ReportServer & ReportServerTempdb on the old "D"drive.
(OR)
(4) Is there anything I should be careful when doing this & Is there any better way of doing this€¦.
Thanks for all your help€¦.

Hello
The default location where db's are created is almost full.
Is there any way to change the default location where the .mdf and .ldf are created when I create a new db? I know I can do this when I create a new db and go select where I want it to be, but can I make it default to a different directory automatically so no human intervention is needed?

In SQL2000, there's an option to change the location of the template folder. This allows me to create a customized set of templates on a network folder and have all the developers reference the centralized location. Can the same be done in SQL2005 and how would I go about doing so?
Thanks.
I have been trying to change the location of the SQL 2005 error log. It's logging to the default location at
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLLOG
I want to move the log location to the E drive because it can get quite large. I already changed the setting in the SQL Server Error and Usage config tool, but this did not seem to make a difference.
I would like to move my AG databases to new location using C#.I found article on MSDN which uses SQLCmd utility to do that, but I cant run that utility from my application.I am looking for general steps OR T-SQL if possible so that I can follow the same from my C# application.

Hello there,
I've been told that it is good practice to keep mdf and ldf files in another location... We have it in place for all our user databases, however mdf and ldf files for our system dbs are still at the same location. I was wondering what is the right way of splitting those should be?
hi,
our reporting services DB moved and I need to tell the report manager where to find it
isn't it in a config file somewhere, i can't find it?
do i have to reinstall?
If I can get around taking a few databases offline, I'd like to. I need to get logfiles on a lower-capacity drive.
Ideally, I wouldn't like to have multiple logfiles swimming around. But, I was thinking that if I created a second logfile, and then backed up the transaction log, I might be able to remove the first logfile?
The other thought I had, was creating a second logfile, and then turning off autogrow on the first log.
Maybe there is a better solution? Maybe neither of these will work?
Thoughts?

I have developed a SSIS package on my desktop and the package involves loading of XML data into a database. The XML does not have inline schema and I generated the XSD file from SSIS.
I used Derived Column and Data Conversion to load the data into the database.
Now, i want to migrate the package to a server. Now, when i change the path of the XML and XSD files, all the tasks show error such as
"Input column 'Last_Updated' (4433) has lineage id 3586 that was not previously used in data flow...."
Why is this so? I am using the same XML/XSD files after i moved to the server.
Please advice a fix for this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a report that has a matrix. That matrix can have from 2 to 16 columns dependinging on the dataset result. Right now I am forced to place this matrix on the left side of the report and make a column layout pretty narrow. When dataset has more than 13 or so columns it looks OK, but when dataset has only two or three columns it looks weird with a matrix sitting in the left corner with two or three narrow columns and a lot of empty space to the right.
Is it possible programmatically change the width of the columns depending on their number in the dataset?
Is it possible to move the location of the matrix (horizontally) depending on the number of columns in the dataset?
Thank you,
Simon.
I added a secondary data file to TEMPdb yesterday and gave it a wrong location by mistake. If I try to change the location, then I am getting an error now. I think that is because TEMPdb is in use and that is why I cant change it's secondary file's location. Do I need to take TempDB offline and then change the secondary file's location??

Hi!
I've created a report with Report Builder using a Model. I want to keep the same report, but I have to use another model (this model is almost the same as previous one, except that it has some extra tables).
I tried to change my report's model from Report Manager (Report_Name -> Properties -> Data Sources), but it didn't work.
Any suggestions?
Best regards.

I have an Excel 2013 file with lots of DAX connected to an Azure database. I'd like to reuse all that work by changing the data source for the PowerPivot model to a different database which is an exact copy (just empty) on the same server, but Excel won't let me. In PowerPivot I can change the database connection, the user ID and password as well as the connections name. When opening each table properties (inside PowerPivot model) the new connection is used and all old data is removed, but as soon as I refresh using Existing connections, both from PowerPivot or from the Excel Data tab, the old connection is used and old data is reloaded.
If I use Existing connections from inside PowerPivot, I can se that the new connection is highlighted and has the correct variable, but I think maybe that one is run first, then the old one is run afterwards (or something like that).
On the Excel Data tab, I can see that the old connection is the only one Excel itself seems to know about, but I cannot change anything there as it's read-only.
There must be a way to change this. Even with copy and paste it would take me days to recreate this Excel file from scratch and it would be a serious flaw and reduction of usability for PowerPivot.

I dont alot about sql server 2005(Express edition). For debugging purposes i want to copy the whole app_data folder(.mdf & .log files) on the production server to another folder on the same machine(or sometimes to a network folder). So when i copy and try to paste this App_data folder to a new location, i get this error message
"cannot copy ASPNETDB: it is being used by another person or program. close any programs that might be using the file and try again."
After reading the above message, i close visual web developer, stop the website in IIS and stop the SQLExpress service on the server and try again but still get the same message.
So how can i make sure that all the programs accessing these database files are closed such that i'm able able to copy them to a different location.
