Moving The Location Of A DB To Another Drive
Feb 22, 2008
I currently have about 4 databases on our SAN located in one of the drives. These databases are going to expand massively and I want o seperate 1 onto seperate drives located on the SAN. I figured using SQL Server Management Studio I could complete this with an easy "Detach / Attach" operation. When I go to attach the files back into SQL, it doesn't read any other drive other than the current drive all of the databases are located on.
Is there a way to do this?

Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
Thanks,
Rick

I was trying to install the Developer Edition of 2005 last night, and ran into a strange issue. I specified F:SQLDev as the installation directory, but the installer still refused to install claiming lack of disk space. Checking the disk cost, I saw that it was still asking for about 1.5 GB on my C: drive. I double checked, and I did specify the installation directory as F:SQLDev.
Is there documentation somewhere that describes why it would require space on the boot drive? Or am I missing a switch somewhere or something?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I've been working with SQL Server for a few years now and I've had quite a few cases where users cannot backup SQL to a network location or external hard drive. Why can SQL not do this? Is it some limitation of the speeds at which SQL needs to backup the information and the external hard drives/network drives do not meet the requirements?

Hello,
In process of installing TFS, I unintentionally installed SQL server on C drive as I could'n see any option of selecting the drives.
Is there any way in which I can move the database folder to another drive without reformatting and going through the same procedure.
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

Hello All,
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:. (we have one of those Dell's that comes with C/D partitions so we split the .dta files with a limit on the primary file, but the damn C: drive still ran low on disk space and now we can't install Win 2003 SP2 on it!)
thanks in advance
Bill

Hello SQLServer gurus,
We created the database with transaction log files and datafiles on the same drive. Now we want to change the transaction log file
location to a different drive. Please let me know the steps to follow. THanks...

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 ' )"

We installed MS SQL Server to our drive D drive E was the CDROM Drive.We wanted to move the CDROM drive to drive D and the hard drive to driveE. We change that around and corrected the registry entries -repointing everything to drive E instead of D. SQL Server however willnot start it says it cannot find the databases. Where is thisinformation stored. How can I go about changing it?~Todd

Hello all -
I have TFS installed on one machine, and the SQL Server database on another. I made the unfortunate mistake of installing SQL Server to the OS drive (C : ), so the TFS database is writing to this drive. How can I switch this to write to another drive (e.g. E:)?
thanks

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

Howdy y'all! :)
I have been instructed to move a large database we have on one of our servers off the current drive (local RAID-5 driveset in the server) to a EMC "drive" (logical drive, off-server).
I know one option is to back up the database, delete the database, re-create the db using the new drive for data/log files, then restore the database.
However, I was wondering if it would be better to just detach the DB, move the data/log files, then reattach to them?
Is it half-doz of one, and 6 of the other?
How should I go about this dastardly deed?
Off to poke around in BOL, but thought I would post first in case it's an incredibly easy answer for y'all
Thanks!

I am trying to find out if it is possible to move indexes to a separate filegroup/disk drive during database restore. I am trying this to see if it improves performance. Also if I cannot move the indexes during restore, how would I move them afterwards to a different filegroup/disk drive? Thanks in advance for all the help.

I have a Windows 2003 server with SQL Server 2005 installed. Theserver is on small drive and we would like to upgrade to much largerharddrives. I've been hearing of problems using Ghost to get an imageand placing the image onto the new drive. I think this is more of aWindows 2003 problem, but this server is for nothing but the SQLServer databases. Does anyone have a clear method of moving thisserver to the larger drives?TIA.

I have a database [CarlosDB] that currently has it's .MDF on E: and I need to move the x2 .NDF data files off C: to E:data using a single T-SQL statement:
Code:
database_id file_id db_name disk_path status size read_only
----------- ----------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 1 CarlosDB E:dataCarlosDB.mdf ONLINE 384 0
7 2 CarlosDB_log L:logsCarlosDB_log.ldf ONLINE 128 0
7 3 CarlosDB_2 C:sqlCarlosDB_2.ndf ONLINE 128 0
7 4 CarlosDB_3 C:sqlCarlosDB_3.ndf ONLINE 128 0
(4 row(s) affected)
Looking at the file configuration above, what would be the most logical way as a DBA / SQL Server 2014 Std to move the NDF files to live w/ the MDF file using:
Code:
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'copy c:sqlCarlosDB_2.ndf e:dataCarlosDB_2/ndf'...
but cleanly using a single T-SQL statement? properly formatting a single T-SQL query to use the xp_cmdshell system stored procedure.

We are seeing very high Average Disk Queue Length numbers in one of our clusters (both nodes of the cluster are Virtual, but have their own dedicated virtual environments). Our main data drive also houses TempDB, which I would like to move.
Each node in the Active/Passive cluster are running Windows Server 2012 Standard 64bit and SQL Server 2012 Enterprise 64bit. There is a separate drive for Log files and data files.
The data files also have TempDB on them as previously mentioned. I am reading that you can set up a local disk on each node of the cluster, with the same drive letter and path and then move tempdb as you would with a stand alone SQL Server.

I'm using SQL Server 2012 and was attempting to move the msdb, model, and tempdb databases to a new location and accidentally gave their log files an mdf extension instead of ldf when providing the new pathfilename. After the server wouldn't start I checked my script and noticed my error. I have good backups of my system databases, so I was hoping to start the MSSQLSERVER service in single-user mode (using the -m startup parameter) and then just restore master using sqlcmd.
Unfortunately the service was starting but I couldn't connect via sqlcmd using any of the three protocols (it said the server was not found or not accessible each time). I also tried using the dedicated Admin connection but I got the same error. Then I went into the Templates folder and copied the master, msdb, model, and tempdb templates into the DATA folder and tried to restart SQL Server but still no luck (now the MSSQLSERVER service won't start at all). Is there an easy way to fix this mess without having to reinstall from the setup application?

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$])
below doesn't work...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=\cluster02FileManager5People.xls', [Sheet1$])

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?

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
