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 just found an odd bug and was wondering if anyone else has seen this.Any templpate file in the directory 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQLServer80ToolsTemplatesSQL Query Analyzer' that has the NTFScompression turned on (that is, colored blue in Windows Explorer) doesnot display in the object browser's template tab of query analyzer.Control-Shift-Insert works fine to insert a template, however.What's up with that?

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?

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.
Does anyone know where a good article pertaining to where you should locate your Data and Log files (in SQL Server 2005)?
I read an article several years ago stating that Log files should be on a seperate RAID 1 and Data on a seperate RAID 5.
Anyway, any help is appreciated.
Is there a way to move my mdf and ldf files for the tempdb and the model databases? If yes, how? I tried ti detach but SQL Server will not let me.

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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
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??

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi everybody,
On the time of installation SQL Server asking me where I wont to locate the DATA files and the PROGRAM files. It’s giving to me choice to put database AND log files on one disk and program files on separate. But what about to separate LOG and DATA files. I have RAID1 especially created on F: drive for LOG files and RAID 5 on E: for DATABASE files. When I have to separate that if not on the time of installation? How I can do that?
Thanks,

I have a situation from where I need to loop through different folders and files in these folders. After processing these files, I need to archive these folders to different location.
e.g., C:MainFolderMar01 ==> Multiple files in Mar01 folder
C:MainFolderMar02 ==> Multiple files in Mar02 folder
Does any one know the best way to do this in SSIS?
Thanks in advance.

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?
I have C,D,E drives on server. Data files will be on D and Log on E. My question is what is best practice for data and log files for system databases during sql server installation selection? Should they be on C drive along with SQL Server installation or D & E? If they should not be on C then what is the reason and what is benefit to move them on other drives.

How to load files with similar format , from two different locations into same database with same ssis.
Lets say
Location 1: C:LoadFilesCust1APP_123445.txt
Location 2: D:LoadFilescust2VDD_543121.txt
Currently we have one ssis which loads and process files from C:LoadFilesCust1 only. we have to modify the existing package it to load files from Location 2 (D:LoadFilescust2) as well. Also while loading, the ssis should assign a value to existing column CustID depending upon the file name. File names always start with APP_ in first location. VDD_ in second location
Assign CUSTID as 100 if file name starts with APP_
Assign CUSTID as 200if file name starts with VDD_
I have just installed SQL Server 2005. I was not given a choice during installation (that I remember seeing anyway) about which drive I wanted to place the default SQL instance on.
It ended up on C: and I needed it on D:.
So my questions are:
Is there a way to move it to D: that is easier than the way you had to go about it in SQL 2000?
Is there a way to do it during setup so I can avoid this in the future?
We have a scenario to process last created/modified files from a location using SSIS package , eventhough the folder contains multiple files with same name and extension.
Kindly give respond to this if any one has worked on this.

View 4 Replies View RelatedCan multiple instances of SQL 2005 Express attach to the same database files on a network share? I have seen this done before with MSDE where the database files are stored on the server, but instead of having a SQL server running on the network and then connecting to it, only the database files exist on the network share and the users connect through MSDE running on the local machine. Is this possible with SQL2005Express? I do not have the ability to share an SQL instance from one workstation to another nor do I have the ability to install an instance on the corporate server. Is it as simple as creating the database and storing the files on the share then attaching the database to the SQL Instance on each workstation?
