Moving Table To New File Group
Oct 17, 2007
Hi all
I have a table called ACTIVATION_CONSUMPTION which is in PRIMARY file group, in order to move this table to new file group [FG_ACTV], I have done the following
1. ALTER DATABASE [MYDB] ADD FILEGROUP [FG_ACTV] (i have not attached a file to this file group)
2. IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.indexes WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[ACTIVATION_CONSUMPTION]') AND name = N'ACTIVATION_CONSUMPTION_PK')
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[ACTIVATION_CONSUMPTION] DROP CONSTRAINT [ACTIVATION_CONSUMPTION_PK]
GO
3.ALTER TABLE [dbo].[ACTIVATION_CONSUMPTION] ADD CONSTRAINT [ACTIVATION_CONSUMPTION_PK] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[ACTIVATION_CONSUMPTION_ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF) ON [FG_ACTV]
The above command executed successfully and now the table is in new file group [FG_ACTV]
My question is how come the table was moved to new file group though it has no files attached to it?
Thanks in advance.

How to move a table to a new file group when the table DOES NOT HAVE A CLUSTERED INDEX.
I also don't want to , create a new table, move the data, drop the old table.
Is there a easier way?

I'm presented with an issue where by I need to reclaim a fair bit of unused space currently sat in the primary data file for my database. I don't want to run DBCC SHRINKDATABASE as we all know this could potentially have a some serious negative effects relating to index fragmentation.
So, how do I get the free space out of the data file? - I've decided to:
1. Add new new file group
2. Add a clustered index for all tables on the new file group
3. Shrink the primary file group as much as possible (hopefully giving me the free space back)
4. Drop the newly created clustered indexes for all tables
There are no clustered indexes currently for any of the tables!, so me temporarily creating/dropping one shouldn't be an issue. Are there any other ways I can get the free space back to the OS?

Recently maintenance was done removing some tables from the original filegroup in one drive of our SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition 64bits to another created on a separate physical drive. I was expecting the full amount of data moved to the secondary filegroup to show up as unused on the primary filegroup but that doesn't seem to be the case. Do I have to do anything after the move to release that space, not to disk, but to the database as unused?

We have recently added a new file group and file on a new drive. We have tested it by moving a small table to the new file group. We would like to relocate a new table to this file group but the table is about (we estimate) 75GB. My question is this: How long can we expect the transfer of data from the current file group to the new one for this table? I understand that depending on our hardware the answer may vary but does anyone have a rough estimate?
The current current (primary) file is located on a DELL SAN and the new secondary group is on a EMC 4700 both are connected via fiber channel.
Also a bonus question would be: Does a "normal" database backup created as a maintenance plan backup the seconary data as well into the BAK file?
Like I said a rough estimate is fine.
Many thanks,
Scott

How can we use the SQL INSERT statement in the stored procedure to create a table in a user specified filegroup? Table1 will be created by using the following SQL script and will be placed in a default filegroup. The question is can this table been created in a specified filegroup other than default filegroup.
INSERT INTO Table1(col1,col2)
SELECT col1,col2
FROM Table2
Example, userA table assign to userA filegroup. userB table assign to userB filegroup. Usually by using CREATE statement you can put the table on a specific filegroup as long as a predefined filegroup has been hard coded in the script. I appreciate any inputs.

Hi There
I am running SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, i want to split my data and indexes on different drives.
In 2000 i had to recreate clustered indexes and non clustered indexes on the correct filegroups to accomplish this.
In 2005 i see there is a ALTER TABLE MOVE TO Filegroup option, thats cool.
Does this effectively do the same as rebuilding the clustered index on the new filegroup? Will this leave the other indexes of the table on the primay filegroup or move them as well ?
If i wanted to also move the non clustered indexes is there a better way to move them that drop and re-create on the new filegroup in 2005, i see the ALTER INDEX statement does not support a move to filegroup option.
In a nutshell what is the best/easiest way to move exisitng table data and indexes to new file groups in Sql Server 2005 Enterprise Edition?
Thanx

Provided that we have 2 type of tables, the first type of tables with schema schema_a and the second type with schema schema_b.Also 2 filegroups apart from primary created: filegroup_a and filegroup_b.How can I configure so that when table with schema schema_a created, it can be put on filegroup filegroup_a automatically and when table with schema schema_b created, it can be put on filegroup filegroup_b automatically?

Hello:
On one of our development ,and production, databases, I have been, through Enterprise Manager for Mssql 6.5,
uisng the managerlogin facility to map each login toa specific group for a specfic database via right clickin on the
group for the login and changing it. This s being doe for moving a login for public to a read-only group.
I have done this for about 40 users. Users are being added quite often now. This is obviously a labor-intensive
and time-consuming manner of doing things.
!) Does any one have a script to change the associaed group for each login in a particular database?
If not, how could I built a script from the system tables?
2) Does any one have a script which would tell me, and generate output on, which users have which permissions
on the tables in a database and what group are they associated with?
Thanks. Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

I have the following directories
\servershare
\serversharearchvie
I have a for each file loop and inside it a data flow that pulls from one of the flat files in the directory and then a file system task. If I choose the "Move File" option in the file system task to move the file to the archive directory, it fails with an access denied message. The access denied message occurs after a message saying file was successfully deleted. I am running this from BIDS right now and my local user can write delete etc in both the above directories. However, if I do a "copy file" in the file system task it seems to work. I think what is happening is it is deleting the file first and then trying to move it, but it no longer exists because it has been deleted--is this possible? Is this a bug of some sort?
For now I am going to workaround by putting in another file system task that deletes the files after they were copied and see how that goes, but would prefer just to do the "move" option.
Thanks,
Kayda

I have a File System Task that uses variables to resolve the destination and source paths of a document. When I select the 'copyfile' operation...the document is copied from the source to the destination without error.
However when I change the property from 'copyfile' to 'movefile' I get an error and the document is not moved.
The source and destination variables contain a valid file path name since the copy commmand is working as expected. However when I alter the properties of the File System task to move the document. I get the following error:
Could not find a part of the path 'G:CommonInformation SystemsDropFilesrtNRT_ConfirmationOrder Confirmation Report_11062006.xlsOrder Confirmation Report_11062006.xls
It seems a little nonsensical since the document file paths are valid when performing a copy. For some reason the error log is showing that that the file path is the document name "Order Confirmation Report_11062006.xls" and adding it twice to the the directory path called "'G:CommonInformation SystemsDropFilesrtNRT_Confirmation" as you can see in the above error message.
To replicate the 'move' action...I added an extra File System Task that deletes the document once the copy has been performed. I would like some insight into why this doesn't seem to work.
Thank you.

For a database, we have 4 data files in a particular file group and the file sizes are almost 70 GB each.
Do I come across any performance issues if I create/pre-allocate an additional data file in the same file group so that the existing files don't grow too much?

Why shrinkfile empty file does not redistribute data evenly in the primary file group with multiple files:
Please run the script attached to see what the end result is.
This is what I set up last night on my test machine.
1) Create database [FGTest] size 200MB
2) Create table called TEST on primary
3) Insert 40MB of data into test
4) Create another file group called temp in primary size 200MB
5) Shrinkfile('FGTest',emptyfile) so that all data is transfered from FGTest into temp file group.
6) Add another 2 files called DATA2 and DATA3. Both are 200MB.
7) We now have 3 empty files that I want data distributed evenly on. FGTest, DATA2 & DATA3
8) Shrinkfile('temp',emptyfile) to move all the data from temp over the 3 file groups evenly
I would expect at this stage to have the following:
FGTest = 13MB,
DATA2 = 13MB,
DATA3 = 13MB
(40MB of data over 3 files should be about 13 MBish in each file)
What I actually end up with is this:
FGTest = 20MB
DATA1 = 10MB
DATA2 = 10MB
It looks as though SQL Server is allocating 50% of all data to the original file and then 50% evenly over
the remaining files in PRIMARY.

I am attempting to export a records to an excel file using DTS and then use activex to rename the file to include the date it was run. To do this i just move the file.
However when the script is run, it fails saying that permission is denied on the "move" line. I have seen other reports saying that permission is denied when using the "CreateObject" however i have implemented the changes it says, ie/ adding the SQL Agent login using the DCOMcnfg utility and renaming the DefaultAccessPermission key in the registry, with no success. It also doesnt seem to fail on that line anyway.
I have also added all the groups and usernames with full control to the security of the folder the file is in to no avail either.
'**********************************************************************
' Visual Basic ActiveX Script
'************************************************************************
Function Main()
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'
Set bFile = fso.GetFile("c:DTS reportsoutput.XLS")
aYear = year(now)
aMonth = month(now)
aDay = day(now)
filename = "output" &aYear & aMonth & aDay & ".xls"
bFile.move ("c:DTS Reports"&filename)
'fso.MoveFile "c:DTS Reportsoutput.xls", "c:DTS Reports"&filename
Set fso = Nothing
End Function
Does anyone know what kind of permissions the folder the file is in must have in order for this script to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

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?

Hi,
I'm trying to move the transaction logs of my databases to a different drive (for fault tolerance). I can create a second transaction log file for each database via Enterprise Manager but I have 2 questions:
1) If two transaction log files exist for a database which one does it use ?
2) How do I force SQL to use the new transaction log file ? (so I can delete old)
Thanks,
Tim

Hi all,
I have to give support to this new client of ours and the system out there was a real mess.The log files for all four databases were ranging from 5 to 9 GB's, no maintanance no nothing was done since the setup of the system. I have truncated the logs after taking proper backups since it all started after they compalined a DTS was not working, which was due to no disk space available ;).
Now I have to shift the log files to a seperate disk.
I know it can be done by detaching the database and attaching it back, I was wondering if we can do it without bringing the system offline?
Anycomments welcome.
Thankyou.
regards,
harshal.

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 have a 'file system task' moving files from one server to another for processing. I have defined the path and filename as separate variables. When I attempt to pass them together into the task I receive an error.
Source Path & Filename:
@[User:: DataSourceFolder]+"\"+ @[User::CD_PaidClaimSource]
Outputs:
\umrdwh2FTPCLAIMDAILY.DATA
Destination Path Now: (Filename not specified per another thread.)
@[User::WorkingFolder]
Original Destination Path: (Which did not work.)
@[User::WorkingFolder]+"\"+ @[User::CD_PaidClaimSource]
I receive validation errors:
Error 1 Validation error. CLAIMDAILY Move : Failed to lock variable "\umrdwh2FTPCLAIMDAILY.DATA" for read access with error 0xC0010001 "The variable cannot be found. This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there. The variable name may have changed or the variable is not being created.". ClaimLoading_MASTER.dtsx 0 0
How do I overcome this without hard coding the path in the task?

I have a text file and moved the data to sql server using import and export data. These are step I am doing.
1. Open Microsoft Sql Server and select DTS Import Export Wizard
2. Using the wizard , I am selecting the Data Source as Text File and provided the file name.
3. In the next option, I am choosing Delimited , followed by Tab option.
4. Then, I am selecting the required Destination and the required Database also.
5. I am choosing the files specified and Run the file.
This method works perfectly.
However, I want a method, where I could avoid steps 1 thru 5 and provide the user a singe step. I mean just an execute of a stored procedure should do the steps 1 thru 5. Is that possible.
Thanks.
