Apr 4, 2008
Hi
I have been trying to use openrowset with a shared drive, and even though the share has "full control" permissions granted to "everyone" and the accout that SQL runs under has been granted explicit full control permissions I am unable to open the file which itself has no security on it.
Can I not use a \ path and only use mapped drives?
Thanks
below works...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
below doesn't work...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=\cluster02FileManager5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
How To Move A Log File From 'e' Drive To 'f' Drive....
Nov 9, 2000I am trying to move a log file from one drive to another.
What I have done is add another file to my file group. So now my log has a file on the 'e' drive and one on the 'f' drive. I now want to remove the file on the 'e' drive. I have emptied the file on the 'e' drive. When doing the command:
ALTER DATABASE Uniprodruntime
REMOVE FILE m_rk_runtime_log
I get the following error message..
Server: Msg 5020, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The primary data or log file cannot be removed from a database.
I have also gone into enterprise manager and tried to delete the file and it does nothing.
Has anyone run into this?

TempDB Keeps Getting Filled And It Is In C Drive But It Should Be In T Drive
Nov 28, 2015Server: SQL 2008 R2
 1: TempDB keeps getting filled.  Restart of the server has not fixed it. I shrink it, but the space gets filled again. Now I can't even shrink it anymore
2: TempDB is at the wrong location. Its current location is this :C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
How do I change its location?Â
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
Correct location of TempDB should be: TempDB(T:) But its not there

Oct 26, 2006I am installing the X86 Executable version of SQL Server. I copied it to my desktop and clicked RUN. It extracts the files and then the Install Wizard tells me there is not enough space on the C Drive to load the program. I have 23 gigabits of free space and the program only takes about 900 megabits.
Is there a solution to this problem?

Here's what we are thinking about doing:
3x18 GB RAID 5 for OS/apps/database/data.
2x9 GB mirrored for the log files.
(we normally don't have apps on the server besides SQL itself)

Apr 23, 2008I know this isn't exactly SQL help, but I alwasy get great help here and thought someone might know why I'm having problems. I'm trying to map to a drive where I have a SQLExpress database on another computer within a workgroup. This is the cmd line I'm using...
NET USE * \XPPRO1SQLExpress /USER:Admin /SAVECRED /PERSISTENT: YES
I'm thinking the problem is with the * (which names the new drive with the next available letter), or that I have to use a password. Everything I've found says nothing about specifying a password though.
The error message I get says "A command was used with conflicting switches."

Can anyone be so kind as to turn me on to a script to move a database from spilt drives C: and D: to just drive D:. (we have one of those Dell's that comes with C/D partitions so we split the .dta files with a limit on the primary file, but the damn C: drive still ran low on disk space and now we can't install Win 2003 SP2 on it!)

SQL Install - C: Drive
Aug 7, 2007We are currently having a "lively" discussion between our DBAs and Server Builders and I am interested in what others are doing. Our DBAs want to take the default SQL install into the C: drive, making sure that NO logs are written to C:. That way there is no chance for the C: drive to become full, crashing the box. Server guys are insisting that we install to a drive other than C:.
I would appreciate any discussion re: what others consider best practice , industry standard, if such a things esist.
Thanks.
Drive Allocation
Jun 29, 2007Any comments, please. I have a new server 5x160GB drives. It needs to run IIS for a web app and SQL Server 2005. One user database. I was thinking of dividing space as follows and wanted to get some thoughts from others.
2 drives = RAID 1 set, 160GB space, OS, IIS, SQL exe, tempDB, user database log file
3 drives = RAID 5 set, 320GB space, SQL data files, user database files
Thanks for looking...
Moving Db's From One Drive To Another...
Feb 22, 2008I currently have about 4 databases on our SAN located in one of the drives. These databases are going to expand massively and I want o seperate 1 onto seperate drives located on the SAN. I figured using SQL Server Management Studio I could complete this with an easy "Detach / Attach" operation. When I go to attach the files back into SQL, it doesn't read any other drive other than the current drive all of the databases are located on.
Is there a way to do this?

Why The Upgraded Files On Drive C Instead Of D

It turned out that the MSSQL7 folder is follen on Drive C instead of Drive D which is what I wanted. When I was running the upgrade exe file, there was no prompt to ask me the right path.
How could I have the MSSQL7 folder installed on D drive?
Thank you for help
