Changing The Default Location Of A New Database
Oct 16, 2006If you enter "Create Database test", the database files (mdf file & log file) are created, by default, in:-
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData
I want to change that to:-
D:Database Files
I sucessfully moved the model database to this location (using the instructions in BOL) assuming that all new databases would now get created in the same location, but they don't. They still get created in:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData
So how do I change the default?
(It's not satisfactory to have to move each database after it's created)
Thanks, Andy Abel
Changing Storage Location On SQL Cluster
Aug 14, 2006We are running SQL Server 2000 w SP4 on a 2 node active/passive Windows 2003 w SP1 configuration. We are presented with 2 150GB LUNs and 1 600MB on particular SAN that does not belong to us. M: and N: drives are the datadrives and Q: is the quorum.
We now have our own SAN and we will be using it for the SQL cluster data storage. The SAN administrator stated that he will present me with 2 150GB LUNs and 1 600MB…pretty much the same configuration.
How will I be able to move all my data and configure the cluster to the new SAN?
Thank you for any help!
Changing Config Table Location On The Fly
Aug 30, 2007Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a proof of concept to show that we can have packages deployed on 3 different servers and all we need to do is tell the package, upon execution/scheduled task, where to go fetch it's configurations from.
The configurations are using SQL Server as the package configuration. This makes it easier for DBA's to maintain since DBA's are responsible for package executions and job scheduling.
For example, the configuration database and all package configurations would be found on server1, server2 and server3 The difference in values is that on Server1, the configuration for the source data and the destination data point to Server1DatabaseSource and Server1DatabaseDestination and on server2, the configs point the source to Server2DatabaseSource and Server2DatabaseDestination and for server 3, the same thing but pointing to server3.
There is also a connection for the SSIS_Config database we're getting the configurations from. In theory, if we specify a different server where this SSIS_Config database is found, it should override the settings in the package. No?
When I schedule OR execute the package, it's always getting it's configs from the config specified in the package independent of wether I specify it in the Connection Managers of the Execute Package Utility when I manually execute it OR in the data sources tab when I configure the package to be run as a job in SQL Server 2005.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Rob
Changing Default Database Creation Location....

How do I now change the properties of this so that when someone creates a database, the path it will get created to is set to d:
I thought that I could just move model, but it seems that this isn't possible.
Any advice?

Changing Location Of Master, Msdb, Tempdb, Etc
Nov 3, 2003When 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

Changing Client Components Location Issue
Jan 29, 2008When running the GUI client, I chose to install the SQL Server 2005 'Client Components' on F:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server, the installation put over 700MB of files on my C: drive, but there were less than 400MB of files in the location I specified. Only about 1/2 of the files I expected were put in the location I specified.
Why?
How can I redirect all of the 'shared' files and other misc. development pieces to install somewhere other than my boot drive? There is no way to specify this when using the GUI, can it be done with a command line install?
Thanks,

Changing Directory Where Database Files Are Stored
Aug 31, 2007Hi
After install the mdf and log files are stored in the Program Files directory tree.
How do I change the place were they are stored to a path of my own choice, so that new DBs get created there too?
I've looked though the docs, but I can't find this.

Transaction Log File Location
Jul 18, 2007version:SQL Server 2000.
db size: 25.6GB
trans log file: 32GB
so far: I have read the Forum FAQ on "clearing the transaction file" and some DBCC SHRINK in Books Online.
I am trying to set up maintenance plan or backup plan. File sizes are getting very large and performance is horrible since we have had no regular maintainence in the past (No DBA in house).
1. What is the best way to identify the location of the transaction log file associated with a particular database?
When I right-click on the database name in Enterprise Manager and select properties, I can see one location for the transaction log.
However, If I right-click on the database > All Tasks > Shrink Database > click Files and select Temp_Table_Log, I get a different location.
2. We delete then repopulate about 105000 records in one particular table each day. In addition, we do the same with about a hundred rows in several other tables daily.
-- Should I be doing Full Backups nightly?
-- I have the option set to "AutoShrink" on the db. Will this truncate and shrink the transaction log as well as shrink the db when I do a full backup?
Thanks,

Default Location For Transaction Logs
Feb 19, 2002I'm setting up a new server and would like the default location for the transaction logs to be on a different drive from the databases. Seems like the best way to do this would be to configure the Master database log location for the drive & directory where I want all trans logs stored. So far, I've been unable to accomplish this. I know I can specify the log location manually each time I create a database, but I'm hoping to configure a default. Is this possible to configure? And if so, how?
Environment is W2k with SQL7.
TIA, Sara

Transaction Log File Location On Install
Sep 19, 2007I asked this before and was told that it was an option on setup, but for the life of my I can't find it.
I have a requirement for all the transaction logs to go to a separate drive (L:), I would like to be able to specify this location as part of the install but I don't see the option. I have been successful doing so after the install but it is a bit annoying to have to do it that way when it seems like the install should have this option.
I am reaching out once more to see if anyone can tell me if I am missing something in the install process that will allow me to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Transaction Log File Location On Install
Sep 19, 2007Hello,
I have a requirement to have all the transaction logs for our SQL Server databases go to a drive letter L: - I would like to do this during the install process but I don't see any way to specify in the setup. I am able to go in and do it after the install but it is a bit of a pain to do.
Anyone know how I can do this in the install itself?

TRANSACTIONS In SSIS (error: The ROLLBACK TRANSACTION Request Has No Corresponding BEGIN TRANSACTION.
Nov 14, 2006I'm receiving the below error when trying to implement Execute SQL Task.
"The ROLLBACK TRANSACTION request has no corresponding BEGIN TRANSACTION." This error also happens on COMMIT as well and there is a preceding Execute SQL Task with BEGIN TRANSACTION tranname WITH MARK 'tran'
I know I can change the transaction option property from "supported" to "required" however I want to mark the transaction. I was copying the way Import/Export Wizard does it however I'm unable to figure out why it works and why mine doesn't work.
Anyone know of the reason?
Analysis :: Find Amount Distribution Across Different Transaction Types Under Spend Transaction
Jul 27, 2015I created a Calculated measure in cube something like this : ([TransType].[TransTypeHierarchy].[TransTypeCategoryParent].&[SPEND],[Measures].[Transaction Amount]). To get only spend transactions. Now, I want to slice this measure with same hierarchy to find the amount distribution across different transaction types under spend transaction. But this query behaving like the measure doesn't have relation with measure.
you can think this as below query:
WITH
MEMBER SPEND AS ([TransType].[TransTypeHierarchy].[TransTypeCategoryParent].&[SPEND],[Measures].[Transaction Amount])
SELECT NON EMPTY {SPEND} ON 0
,NON EMPTY ([TransType].[TransTypeHierarchy].[TransTypeCategoryParent]) ON 1
FROM [CUBE]
How Do I Make Use Of Begin Transaction And Commit Transaction In SSIS.
Jun 1, 2007Hi
How do I make use of begin transaction and commit transaction in SSIS.
As am not able to commit changes due to certain update commands I want to explicitly write begin and commit statements. but when i make use of begin and commit in OLEDB commnad stage it throws an error as follows:
Hresult:0x80004005
descriptionyntax error or access violation.
its definately not an syntax error as i executed it in sql server. also when i use it in execute sql task out side the dataflow container it doesnt throw any error but still this task doesnt serve my purpose of saving/ commiting update chanages in the database.

Hi,
I am having some problem with SSIS transaction. Eventhought I tried to imitate the concept that Jamie presented at http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/jthomson/transactionsinsqlserver2005integrationservices.asp
. My workflow is as followed
*********************************
For Each ADO.Record in Oracle (transaction=not supported)
If (Certain_Field_Value = 'A')
Lookup Data in SQL DB with values from Oracle (transaction=not supported)
DO Sequence A (Start a Transaction , transaction=required)
INSERT/UPDATE some records in SQLDB(transaction=supported)
Finish Sequence A ( transaction should stop here)
UPDATE Oracle DB ( Execute SQLTask, transaction=not supported)
If (Certain_Field_Value = 'B')
Lookup Data in SQL DB with values from Oracle (transaction=not supported)
DO Sequence B (Start a Transaction , transaction = required)
INSERT/UPDATE some records in SQLDB (transaction=supported)
Finish Sequence A ( transaction should stop here)
UPDATE Oracle DB ( Execute SQLTask, transaction=not supported)
If (Certain_Field_Value = 'C')
------------
------------
End ForEach Loop
*************************************
My requirements are that I want separate transaction for each Sequence A, B, C, etc... If Sequence A transaction fails, the other should still be continuing with another transaction.
But I am getting an error regarding the OLEDB Error in next Task (e.g in Certain_Field_Value = 'B') "Lookup Data in SQL DB with values from Oracle ", the error message is ".......Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction. ".
What is it that I am doing wrong?

I'm actually a beginner in SQL Server and I got use to a database called "Cache" where the Data itself is stored separately from the tables (Table definition), and I'm wondering if its the same in SQL Server where the Data is stored in a deferent location then the Table definition, and if so, where it could be stored?

Install Location
Feb 20, 2001Can someone tell me what the default installation location
is for SQL 2000? Is it different for the default instance
compared to a named instance? What about the tools? It
seems to me I read something about the tools defaulting
to the program filesmicrosoft SQL Server directory.
I guess I'm more concerned about each instance and the
location of those files. I don't necessarily like the
idea of each instance installing to the program files
directory, if that's the default.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks
Toni
