Hello there,
I've been told that it is good practice to keep mdf and ldf files in another location... We have it in place for all our user databases, however mdf and ldf files for our system dbs are still at the same location. I was wondering what is the right way of splitting those should be?
I have a job which copies .txt files 24 hours 7 days a week to c:TempSource

I was checking out an indexes property via SQL 2005 Management Studioand it looks like I can move the index to other filegroups via thedrop down.I checked the BOL ALTER INDEX and I didnt see an argument for thisaction. I see stuff about PARTITION, but I think that is for rowpartitioning??I want to move existing indexes from the PRIMARY filegroup to a newfile group just for indexes, which is called INDEXES.Can this be done via ALTER INDEX or some other way?TIARob
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am finding that in order to have the Web Services Task work successfully the location of the WSDL file has to be on a local drive that SSIS is executing upon. Is the current intended behavior?
In my SSIS task I use a URL path to store information extracted from the Web Service. The information is stored on a different server than the one that SSIS is running upon. This works properly without error.
I have confirmed that SSIS has appropriate permissions to read/write to that directory on that server. When I attempt to reference the WSDL file (located in the same URL directory that I am saving the information) I get a web services error, 'The Web Services Name is empty, Verify that a valid web service name is available."
When I update the Web Service Task attribute to point to the WSDL file located on a local drive it works correctly. I have confirmed that both WSDL documents are exactly the same.
The behavior seems a little strange...so I must be missing something subtle.

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.

I am having an issue with the File System Task.
I was wondering if there is a way to 'Move File' with the File System Task inside of a For Each Loop container but to dynamically set the Destination path variable.
Currently, this is what I have:
FileDestinationPath variable - set to C:TestFiles
FileSourcePath variable - set to C:TestFiles
FileNameAndLocation variable - set to blank
For Each Loop Container �� Iterates through a folder C:TestFiles that has .txt files in it with dates in the file name. Ex: Test_09142006.txt. Sets the file path (fully qualified) to the Variable Mapping FileNameAndLocation.
Script Task (within For Each Loop, first step) �� Sets the FileDestinationPath to the correct dated folder within C:TestFiles. For example, if the text files I want to move are for the 14th of September, it takes FileDestinationPath and appends the date folder to the end of it. The text files have a date in the file name (test_09142006.txt) and I am picking this apart (from FileNameAndLocation in the For Each Loop) to get the folder date. (dts.Variables(��User::FileDestinationPath�?).Value = dts.Variables(��User::FileDestinationPath�?).Value & ���? Month & ��_�? & Day & ��_�? & Year & ���?) which gives me ��C:TestFiles9_14_2006�?.
File System Task (within For Each Loop, second step) �� This is where the action is supposed to occur. I want it to take the FileDestinationPath and move the FileNameAndLocation file (from the For Loop) into this folder for each run.
Now as for my problem. I want this package to run everyday but it has to set the FileDestinationPath variable dynamically according to that day��s date. Basically, how do I get this to work since I can��t hard code the destination path variable from the start? I have the DestinationVariable on the File System Task set to the FileDestinationPath variable, after the script task builds it. However, using FileNameAndLocation as the SourceVariable on my File System Task tells me that the ��Variable ��FileNameAndLocation�? is used as a source or destination and is empty.�?
Let me know if I need to clarify further��...I may be missing something very simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
We are running SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition (64-Bit) on Windows 2012 R2 Standard (64-Bit).
1. When to create indexes, before or after data is added? Please address Clustered and Non-Clustered Indexes.
2. To move indexes to it's own filegroup, is it best to create the NON-Clustered Indexes on the separate filegroup with code similar to the example below?
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_Employee_OrganizationLevel_OrganizationNode
ON HumanResources.Employee (OrganizationLevel, OrganizationNode)
WITH (DROP_EXISTING = ON)
ON TransactionsFG1;
GO
I have read the following links that states that if you create the Clustered Index on a separate filegroup, it would also move the base table to that particular filegroup. (So I take it that you ONLY can move NON-CLustered Indexes to a separate filegroup.)
Placing Indexes on Filegroups:
[URL]
By default, indexes are stored in the same filegroup as the base table on which the index is created. A nonpartitioned clustered index and the base table always reside in the same filegroup. However, you can do the following:
• Create nonclustered indexes on a filegroup other than the filegroup of the base table.
Move an Existing Index to a Different Filegroup:
[URL]
Limitations and Restrictions
• If a table has a clustered index, moving the clustered index to a new filegroup moves the table to that filegroup.
• You cannot move indexes created using a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraint using Management Studio. To move these indexes use the CREATE INDEX statement with the (DROP_EXISTING=ON) option in Transact-SQL.
I am able to run SSIS packages as SQL Server Agent jobs with a Control Flow items "File system task", if I move a file (test.txt) from a drive (c on the server (where SQL Agent jobs run) to a subdirectory on the same drive. But, if I try to move a file on a network drive, the package fail.
What I can do to solve this issue.
Bye!

I need to move specific files from a server to another server on a monthly basis. There are hundreds of files that are in the source directory and I need to move approximately 40 of those to the destination server. I would like to easily add or delete the file list as needed. I have seen where several variables were created for for each file name (and one for the path) and the ForEach Loop would go through them. With 40 or more I was thinking that I could make a connection to an Excel spreadsheet or text file with a record for each file name and read in and and move to the next record and make that value become the content of a "FileName" variable. Then if I wanted to add another file name I could just add another record to spreadsheet/text file or remove and the package would handle automatically....
View 10 Replies View RelatedEasy question, I hope We are setting up an active active sql cluster. The management have done everything the wrong way around and purchased the hardware already.
We are planning on having 2 databases 1 in each instance. We will place the transaction log files for each database on their own cluster "physical disk" resource. We only have 4 disks availalbe for the transaction log files. To make things a little more complicated I have been given no information on the expected transaction use other than they should be no larger than 50GB
Here are my options
1. 2 Mirrored raid arrays one for each sql instance
2. 1 Raid 10 array with 2 logical drives (so the transaction logs are sharing the same disk spindles)
What would you do? seperate the disk spindles or share them and go for fast disk performace.

Hello
I want to move and rename a file and embed the date/time into it, so that each time the package runs a new file is created. For example MyFile_20060712_150000.doc.

Is the name of the most recent backup file for each database stored anywhere in SQL2K? I want execute a SQA job periodically that takes the BAK from database A and restores it over database B (using the T-SQL RESTORE DATABASE procedure), but I need to know the exact name of the .BAK file; i.e. I need to know the yyyymmddhhmm value at the end of that file.
TIA,

I've got some users that created a database with the log file on a drive that doesn't have a lot of space. I'd like to truncate the log and move it to a different drive. I can truncate it, but is moving it as easy as changing the files properties through SSMS?
Thanks
version: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,

I am having a problem using the file system task, what I am trying to achieve is to move a file after it has been processed . I am using a For each loop container to process bunch of files but I want to remove the files that have been processed after every loop.To achieve this I added a File System Task after my data flow task and was using the same variable used in the for each loop container as my source variable but the package is not being validated and is gives the following error

Does anyone know if this is possible:
I have an FTP server that will be receiving files. The directory
and file structure will be a folder with a client name (can be called
anything) and it will have files in it (these files will have the same
filenames as all the other directories. So I will have folder
JimmyDoe with files a.txt, b.txt, c.txt and I will have JonnyDue with
files a.txt, b.txt, and c.txt.
Now I'm trying to figure out a way to get that dynamic file location to
a DTS package so I can import all the data from the text file into a
SQL server. The way the SQL server will be set up is that each
Folder from the FTP site will be a separate Database and each file will
1:1 with a table with the same name..
My biggest issue is figuring out a way to tell the DTS package the file
location to pull all those files and then importing them to the proper
database.
I'm not limiting the solution to DTS packages so if .NET can be
incorporated to make it easier then so be it. But keep in mind I
can have up to 200 folders with 12 - 20 text files ranging from
hundreds of rows of data to many thousands of rows. And the
package needs to be ran twice a day so time/performance is an
issue.
To recap: Need DTS package that uses Dynamic file source and transfers data to Dynamic database destination.
(And I'll write slow VB.NET code to handle this before I create/manage 200+ DTS packages as a solution)
Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Prasanna.
I'm writing a script for a pending migration (2k enterprise to 2k5x64 enterprise). I've got about 325 or so databases, spanned across 3 instances that I need to migrate. My plan is to do a mass scripted detach of all DBs of the old boxes, copy the files (on a new domain) and then reattach all of the mdf and ldf files.
I've been writing a sql script that will scan a "staging" directory for each of the MDF and LDF files, then programmatically run sp_attachdb. The problem is that the mdf and ldf files weren't always a 1 to 1 naming convention. My predecessors stuck all sorts of things in the file names that make doing a simple scripted search pretty difficult. The disk paths are going to be different from server to server (simpler), so I need to move the files
Is there a way (using sp_attachdb or otherwise) that I could somehow scan each of the MDF files to get the path of the LDF? I can already do that with a .bak file using the RESTORE FILELISTONLY command, but I'm not sure how to do it like this. I'm figuring there has to be a way though, as SSMS seems to know where the LDF is if you try to attach an MDF.
Usually, Google does well, but I haven't been able to find anything as of yet. Any ideas?
Hi, I am working on a new installation which I did not set up and realized was using the wrong partition of the server to store the data and log files, I have already created several databases, I want to use another partition for these databases without having to drop them and create them all over again.
In BOLine i saw this command but want to make sure its safe, hope somebody can comment on this or if I am missing something.thank you
proposed command:
"MODIFY FILE ( NAME = logical_file_name, FILENAME = 'new_path/os_file_name ' )"
I 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.

Hello,
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?
hi,
Can you guys please give me the steps of how to create a destination file dynamically. What i mean is for example i want to get everything from a table and ssis should create a file distination according to today's date and save it in a specific folder.

I have developed an SSIS package which uses an XML configuration file for connection information. It runs fine both from Visual Studio and from an Agent job after I specify the location of the XML configuration file in the Agent job definition.
My question is regarding the target location of the XML configuration file after deployment. I do my SSIS development on a local workstation with SQL Server 2005 DE and Visual Studio 2005 installed on it. I deploy my SSIS packages to a remote SQL Server 2005 SE server. Both machines are running SP1. I double-click the package manifest from my local workstation and specifiy the remote server in the deployment utility. The package gets deployed to the remote server just fine but the XML configuration file ends up on my local workstations C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSPackages path. I would have expected that the XML configuration file would have gone to the same path on the remote server, where the package itself was deployed. Obviously, when I run the deployment utility from the remote server, it stores the XML configuration file in the same path on the remote server. But this is not a workable production solution.
I've been working on package configurations here, mainly trying to figure out what works, and how. If I use an XML configuration, and and don't specify the path, ie just typing in test.dtsconfig, it creates the config file on my desktop. When I execute the packge in BIDS, it seems to be looking in that location. If however, I execute the package manually on the filesystem, test.dtsconfig must be in the same directory as the package (which is what I would expect). Why does this work differently in BIDS. Also, if the package is deployed to a SQL server, where would the configuration file need to be in this case? Thanks for the help.
