How To Move A Log File From 'e' Drive To 'f' Drive....

I 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?

Best Way To Move Datafile From C Drive To D

I obviously did not search the archives on the right terms so what isthe easiest and fastest way to move a 3G database from a nearly full Cdrive to the nearly empty D drive that should have been used.I could back it up, drop it, recreate it using the D drive, and restoreit but it seems like there should be a way to just move the datafileand use if from the new location.I am thinking that detatch/attach is the best method, but I would likeconfirmation or suggestions on how to proceed or things to be aware ofwhen using this method.-- Mark D Powell --

How To Move Only The Transaction Log Files (.ldf) To A Different Drive?

Hello guys and girls. I have installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and I have specified that the databases should be created on the K: drive. This is okay but now I need to move all the transaction log files (.ldf) to the L: drive. I have already changed the default location for the log files to point to the L: drive and the new databases that were created after the installation have their transaction log file correctly in the L: drive but now I need to move transaction log files for the master, model, temp ... databases. How can this be done? And are there any gotchas?

Move Log Files For SQL 2005 Databases To Another Drive

Hello,

I need to move all log files for my SQL 2005 databases to another drive. I don't wish to shrink the files, I need to move the logs to another drive spindle. I did find an article (Article ID: 224071) that describes moving both the database and logs using sp_detach and then sp_attach. What is the best way just to move the logs to another drive on the same server, and that keeps the databases in their original location?
Thanks.

I haven't found the definitive answer on how or if this can be done without removing replication. I'm thinking ALTER DATABASE modify_file is the way to go. Anybody know if this will work or a better way to go about it?

Can I Used A Shared Drive Rather Than A Mapped Drive With OpenRowSet?

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$])

TempDB Keeps Getting Filled And It Is In C Drive But It Should Be In T Drive

Server: 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? 

C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
Correct location of TempDB should be: TempDB(T:) But its not there

Net Use CMD. How To Map Drive W/SQLExpress

I 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:.

thanks in advance
