Hello,
I was wondering if it were possible to change the Root Directory on an SQL Server 2005 install?
expl: current = C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQL
desired: D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQL
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've installed SQL 2005 and failed to change the default datalocation during installation. Now I want to change it. Can I do thiswithout having to uninstall and reinstall? And furthermore, is there asystem stored procedure I can use to move existing data and log files(master, msdb, AdventureWorks, etc.)? I seem to remember doing justthis with SQL 2000 some time back.Thanks,Eric

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?
Hi everyone!
I have a configuration file, I want to place it in somewhere of SSIS package to extract configuration information. But i dont know where is root directory. can you help me?
Thanks you very much
I want to move the SQL Server 7.0 root directory from C:MSSQL7 to D:MSSQL7 (same host). I see the startup parameters under server properties could be changed to point to the new location, but Master has the paths to all the databases recorded in sysdatabases table, so at least that would have to change, and sysdevices table points to files on C:. And maybe the NT registry points to some files there too. Anyway, is there some established method to move it? If that isn't practical, at least I would want to move TEMPDB ( perhaps by using the SP_DETACH and SP_ATTACH method ). My main database is already on D: so I do not have to move it. Any informed advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a hierarchical table of some 2-3k of rows that grows slowly at only 3-5 rows a month, and is never likely to be above 5k, holding file/directory names with an IdParent int value pointing at that items immediate parent or NULL if root
Below is a sample:
Id Name IdParent
1 C: NULL
2 D: NULL
3 ProgramFiles 1
4 DataFiles 2
5 Excel.EXE 3
6 MyDataList.CSV 4
iterative code required to achieve the result I am looking for is best handled in the Application layer, but in this case the design brief is that we must get our results back as a View. Speed of execution and code clarity are secondary 'icing on the cake' issues.
I have tried recursive CTE's and XML FOR solutions but without success, and while I feel the latter is probably the best all rounder the searches I have made and the examples I have read do not seem to solve this particular issue.
Even to find the starting point of the search tree (i.e. the .EXE and the .CSV items) was difficult because the final slash is optional in some of the rows (.e. row 4)
The end result of my view on the above data should return:
Id FilePath
5 C:ProgramFilesExcel.EXE
6 D:DataFilesMyDataList.CSV (note the adding of the missing delimiter between DataFiles and MyDataList)
I am new to sql sever management studio express, but a long time query analyzer user. This is a very basic question.
I want to change the default directory in sql server management studio express so that when I go to save a query, it is already pointed to the correct one. Where do I change that?
Thanks,

I am trying to find a solution to a thorny problem I have encountered...
I am a newbie in Sql Server 2000, but have quite a bit of experience in databases, both on PC and mainframe.
I am currently writing a program, which needs, among other things, to create Sql Server databases, to be located NOT in the default Mssql2000 directory, but in the user's home directory.
I am using an ADO connection and trying to execute it, as follows:
The text of the relevant part of the program goes like this:
Dim strCreateDatabase As String
Dim MyCn As ADODB.Connection
Set MyCn = New ADODB.Connection
With MyCn
.ConnectionTimeout = 25
.Provider = "sqloledb"
.Properties("Data Source").Value = "MOP"
.Properties("Initial Catalog").Value = ""
.Properties("Integrated Security").Value = "SSPI"
.Open
End With
strCreateDatabase = "Create Database Rimon on (" _
& "Name = Rimon, Filename = '\mopusersMR_DiazsalpmsdataRimon_Data.mdf', " _
& "Size = 20, MaxSize = 100, FileGrowth = 5) " _
& "Log on (Name = 'Rimon', Filename = 'c:usersMR_DiazsalpmsdataRimon_Log.ldf', " _
& "Size = 2, MaxSize = 10, FileGrowth = 1)"
MyCn.Execute strCreateDatabase
Both the name of the Sql Server and the Win2K server is MOP.
All the directories exist, and I have full access to them.
When I try to run this command, I get the following message:
File
'\mopusersMR_DiazsalpmsdataRimon_Data.mdf' is on a network device not supported for database files.
When I omit this location, it works just fine.
If I run it on the server, using another directory, it works just fine.
Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I have a root domain and child domain.
After using ADMT to migrate the domain user or group into the root domain, when I use enterprise manager to try and change the permissions allocated to that domain user/group, i get the 'Error 15401 NT user or Group not found'.
This is a correct error as the user is now in the root domain, however sql (in sysxlogins) still thinks its in the child domain.
Is there a simpler way, other than collecting the users permissions, deleting the user from SQL then adding back in with the correct domainusername format, then adding the permissions back?
I tried renaming the 'name' in sysxlogins (not recommended) and while that worked, whenever I tried to add the migrated user to another database, the login name was missing and would not resolve.
I believe it is something to do with the SID not matching.
Any ideas on how to fix this ?
I tried to add volume to default data & log directory of "new data default location" of database setting at SQL server properties, but it never be saved, when I get in properties again, the setting is disappear.

I would like to know how to change the default data directory in SQL Server Express. I have a partitioned hard disk with SQL Installed on the C: drive. I would like to move the data to d: drive. I have just installed SQL and do not have any databases. I have installed SQL with advanced services.
Thanks in advance for your response.
I went ahead and installed RS even though it was clear Microsoft install was confused (re: preivous post). Now I get to experience the thrill of configuration hell.
Report Server Virtual Directory had a green check. Unfortunately the Name block says <Not Set>. When I try to create a New... default directory I get the error message: "The virtual directory could not be created. The previously set virtual directory will still be used."

I'm requesting of our dba that he create a database with recovery simple for my peer and I to start using. I'm asking him to give us db owner on this db so we can create schemas, tables, views, procs, do table inserts, deletes etc etc. what sql permission (if any) would allow my peer and I to do a backup once in a while to the default sql directory for backups? And for that matter a restore from there.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've created a number of very large databases in Ms Access that I would like to upsize to SQL Server Express. I changed the default data directory location to point to a separate drive with over 400GB of free space on my home pc. However, everytime I try to upsize or link databases using the MS Access Upsizing Wizard the data is saved in the Data directory on my current hard drive and is not saved in the default location I specified. If I create a new database in SQL Express it is saved to the new location. Any ideas on how to force upsizing or uplinked data to go to the new default data location?

I have a 'need an opinion' question. I've always installed the system databases (master, msdb, model, tempdb) on the root drive (c:) with the sql application. Then I was thinking, the only things that really should be on the root drive is the sql app itself (and any other required apps). So...my question is, do y'all install the master, etc on a separate drive other than the root, ie d: or e:? The reason I ask is that if the tempdb database has alot of activity, and the database resides on the root drive, could it affect sql performance?
Just wondering. I just started working in a 'virgin' sql environment (setting up sql servers from scratch), and want to have sql installed in the best possible way for performance.
Thanks in advance for any info y'all can provide.

After that, I install Reporting Service and SP2.
Then I config Reporting Service to Integrated Sharepoint Mode below.

Web Service Identity:
Report Server: "RSAppPool" (that created above)
Report Manager: Empty
Database Setup:
Database name: Database1 (Server Mode: SharePoint Integrated)
Credential Type : Windows Credentials
Account Name: Domain1User1
After configuration, I reset IIS and test browse to http://servername/ReportServer/ , then there is a Windows Login dialog.
I enter "Domain1User1" and User1's password. But User1 cannot right to access to "ReportServer" virtual directory.

We use extended properties of Active Directory to filter the data in reporting services throw a web services. We send the userid (User!UserId) to the webservices and retrieve some information about the user.
But if we change the name of one user (rename not recreate), he lost all this properties. When try to execute a report show an error:
Parameter validation failed. It is not possible to provide valid values for all parameters. (rsParameterError) I know this issue is in the border of reporting services, but we have spent a lot of time without results and we need any help.
Thanks in advance
Hi There
I installed Sql Server 2005 and SSIS to the C: drive of a server.
However i am going to install 3 more instances on this server and i want to install SSIS on the RAID drive.
So i uninstalled SSIS, then i installed another Sql Server instance on the D drive.
Now when i try to install SSIS, when i go to advanced and browse for installation path it is greyed out and it says that the path has already been bound to the 90DTS folder of the first instance i installed on the C: drive, so basically i dont know how i can install SSIS to another drive ???
Please help.
Thanx
I changed the default collation of a database and every table within that except sysDiagrams , which I can't even through the designer .
View 9 Replies View RelatedThere was a 2008 SSRS service running on server "abc".
I have a .Net UI that uses the wsdl at [URL] ....
They deployed SSRS 2012 service on a new server "xyz".
DNS points abc to xyz. Nslookup looks right shows both xyz and abc alias to the same IP.
when I try to go to [URL] .... it redirects to xyz as expected for the host name but the HTTP GET /ReportServer is appended with GET /Reports/ReportServer which doesn't exist and I get an 404 error.
I have no admin rights to see anything and I have no idea if it was an inplace upgrade or a new server. I assume it's new since the actual server name changed in nslookup. Why would it append the default virtual directory when it makes the hop to server "xyz"?
