By default,when I would like to back up any database by SSMS.
default destination on disk will be C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackup every time
Although I everytime change it to my backup folder.
Please let me know how to change it.
WE HAVE RECENTLY MOVED THE MSSQLBACKUP FOLDER TO EMC DRIVES E:, BUT SQL IS STILL DEFAULTING BACKUPS TO THE ORIGINAL DEFAULT LOCATION WHICH WAS ON THE D: DRIVE. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THIS? I KNOW THE ORIGINIAL LOCATION IS STORED IN THE REGISTRY, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN CHANGE THE REGISTRY OR IF THERE IS A DIFFERENT PLACE. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.
THANKS
Hi,
I had SQL Server 2000 installed like below:
Installation Directory = C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server
Default data directory = D:
Default log directory = D:
I found out that the data is stored in D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdata and backup is done in D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLackup
However, Microsoft says we should never put the ..ackup and ..data folders in the same partition.
My question is: How can I move the path of the backup directory?
I checked the registy but this is what I found:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMSSQLServerMSSQLServer
..BackupDirectory=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLackup (<-- note it is pointing to C: not D:)
..DefaultData=D:
Can somebody help please?
If I run the below command, it clean up the files inside the folders but unable to clean up the folder and sub-folders older than 30 days. xp_ cmd shell ' forfiles -p "D:abcd" -s -m *.* -d -30 -c "cmd /c del /Q @path"'

I'm using sp_OACreate in a scalar function to create a folder if it doesn't exist, and it works fine if you're asking it to create a single folder. For instance: C:Newfolder
It creates "Newfolder"
However, if I try to ask it to create C:NewfolderNewsubfolder
It doesn't work
Here's the code:
DECLARE @Exists int, @ObjFile int, @ObjFileSystem int, @Folder nvarchar(500) = 'C:',
@Action tinyint = 1 --(0 to check if folder exists, 1 to actually create it)
EXEC dbo.sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @ObjFileSystem OUT
EXEC dbo.sp_OAMethod @ObjFileSystem, 'FolderExists', @Exists OUT, @Folder

I've written a custom script to delete backup files from location. But unable to modify now to count the number of files are deleted. How to modify the script...

DROP PROC usp_DeleteBackup

Is there a default destination component used when a new data flow is created? The reason I ask is simply curiosity. I have an xml file with 2 pieces of data: item A and item B. A should simply get copied out of the file. B should undergo a quick transform. I set up an XML source such that two columns are mapped correctly to the XML source data of A and B. I set up my data transform task as well. So, if I leave those two components on the .dtsx page with no other components, then will there be a default data flow destination already created? ...OR, do you always have to have a destination component?
Thanks for the input. I am just curious.
Hi,
I am exporting a table to an excel format. The package should change the name of the destination file everytime the package is executed(preceded by date). I need to deploy this urgently.
When I was using ALTER TABLE to create a new field, I accidentally type the wrong word as the DEFAULT.
I typed
ALTER TABLE mytable ADD reporting VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'Monthl';
I did not want 'Monthl', I wanted 'Month'.
How do I change it, drop it, modify it?
I've been looking through the on-line info from MS and I and very confused.
SQL Server 2000: Is it possible to change SQL server's default collation without reinstall ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe installed SQL 7.0 first, then SQL 2000. SQL 7.0 is the default instance.
How can we change the default to SQL 2000?
The columns fro which we do not enter any values.Fro eg in my table i did not insert any values to Balance col,in my table.
In SQL 2005,management studio,when i said modify table and changed the default to 0 from NULL and also unchecked the checkbox saying Allow Nulls.
I did the above changes and said save.It gave an error saying
'AccountsBalance' table
- Unable to modify table.
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Balance', table 'AccountBalanceSheet.dbo.Tmp_AccountsBalance'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.

Hi, all, does anyone know of a way to change default values inside of a table without affecting existing values?
I have a table with default = 0 in usermask column. Some rows already have non 0 values in them. I now need to change the default to 1 but still want the non 0 values be there. I also want the new default to take effect when new rows are entered. What's the best and quickest way to do it?
Thanks for advice.

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 am trying to change the default trace value from 2 to 6, to incorporate rollover and server shutdown. I am using this code to create a new trace (with id: 2) with the value of 6 and use that to overwrite the default trace (with id: 1):
DECLARE @new_trace_id INT;
EXECUTE master.dbo.sp_trace_create
@someinteger = @new_trace_id OUTPUT,
@someinteger = 6,
@someinteger = N'C: raceTestTrace';
Then I disable the default trace. I am then using this code to overwrite the default trace (with id: 1) and replace with new value default trace (with id: 2):
-- get trace status
SELECT * FROM ::fn_trace_getinfo(NULL)
-- stop trace
EXEC sp_trace_setstatus @traceid = 1
, @status = 0
go
-- delete trace
EXEC sp_trace_setstatus @traceid = 1
, @status = 2
Then I enable the default trace. It works perfectly (default trace with id 1 is showing value 6) until I restart. Upon restart no default traces are enabled, once I run the script to enable the default trace then the values for the default trace (with id: 1) are back, and my value for rollover/server restart is back to 2.

HiWhen we installed SqlServer2000 we left the default collation name(Sql_Latin1_General_CPI_CI_AS).The user defined databases we created afterwards were defined with adifferent collation name in order to be able to accept the character setwe use, Hebrew.We are looking into switching DTSs that we use to copy data from ourmain system , that uses an Ingres database, into OSQL scripts. Althoughthe DTSs successfully copy the Hebrew letters when I copy data with OSQLit comes over as jibberish.After looking into the matter I came to the conclusion that while DTSrefers to specific databases and uses the destination database'scollation name , OSQL refers to the remote server and destination serverand therefore uses the collation name of the server and not of thedatabase. In order for it to successfully copy the Hebrew I need tochange the default collation name of the installation.Is "rebuild master" the way to do such a thing ? (this is a productionserver so we are wary of doing a "rebuild master")Has anyone else run into similar problems when transfering data betweenservers using OSQL ?ThanksDavid Greenberg

I have had visual C# Express edition for a while, and had successfully used SQL Server 2005 express successfully since it was first released. I downloaded the new version with advanced services, created a new instance, and tried to use it. VC# wont connect cause it is still trying to connect to my old instance which no longer exists. Could someone please tell me how to make my new instance the one to log on to?
Thanks in advance,
