Hi,
Is there any way to change the location for the datafile. I need to change the drive from say c to d because it is filling up. Is there anyway to do this or do I have to recreate the database from scracth. I have a whole lot of data in the database already.
Thank you all.
Hello Experts,
I am relatively new to VB 2005 and SQL Express. I have a question concerning where I can find the SQL-database file (*.mdf) after I have installed (published) my VB 2005 database-application (the *.mdf file was created by Visual Studio Express?). It seems it is nowhere in the disk of the of pc it is installed on. So, what happens to *.mdf file after installation of the application, in what way I can connect to the *.mdf file after the application - the file is part of - is published?
In need of help,

Hi All,
I have a database -- MDB -- with datafile for data and transaction log under the folder d:mssqldata . Now i want to move the data file from d: to e:, say e:mssqldata . Can someone let me know if this is possible under SQL server v7.0 and if so, how
I need some clarification about adding file in to mirrored dataabse in primary server without downtime and breaking the mirror server.
In our environment we are using monutdisks in both the servers. in primary for ex we have F drive for data files under mount disk 3 in mirror server also we have same drive but in mount drive2.
As per my knowledge if it is same drives we can add the ndf files in the primary that will reflect on mirror. but in current situation i am confusing about mount points with different names.
Hello friends !
Wich one is more efficient way to use a sql mdf file in Sqlexpress ?
attaching a mdf file on sqlexpress ( and use initialcatalog in connection string ) or use AttachDbFilename on connection string directly ?
Is there any difference in performance and speed ?
Thanks a lot
I'm aware of the issues with sizing your logfile growth size too low (causing too many VLFs, etc). But I haven't seen much about the datafile side of it.
Are there any benchmarks specifically on setting datafile growth so low (on databases 1-100Gb in size)? Are there circumstances in well utilized servers where that might be warranted?
As per the old times, do we still need to have the SQL server database's data file and logfiles seprately while we are even using Fusion IO?
In my case, all the drives G and H are from Fusion IO.
So, will it really matter if both my Data and log are on G drive or should I still have them separately on G and H Drives.
From BOL, I see these remarks with respect to the MODIFY FILE subcommand (my underline added):
Initializing Files
By default, data and log files are initialized by filling the files with zeros when you perform one of the following operations:
Create a database
Add files to an existing database
Increase the size of an existing file
Restore a database or filegroup
Which leads me to believe that expanding the size of a datafile will also wipe out (my definition of 'initialize') any existing data within that file.
I may be misunderstanding 'initialize', because when I tested it out, I found this wasn't the case - my table data written to the file was still there after a resize.
Need to clarify to what degree I'd be taking a risk by increasing the file size on a datafile which already has data in it.
I have an instance with 4 datafiles for tempdb each set at initial size of 4G and growth rate of 100MB. After some time the initial file sizes seem to have changed automatically. They now read 3962,100,3688 and 2847 respectively. Is this something done by SQL Server itself? I cannot imagine that it was done manually.
I don't think there was a restart after the initial sizes of 4G were set, could this be related to the problem?
Can SQL Server be installed onto a file server...if so, how?
Hello,
I'm wondering where exactly is the default location of the rdl file stored on the server?http://<server>/reports/

Can i put sql sever on my computer and have the db on a mapped drive on our company network???
I lost my datafile , that's corrupted and I don't have database backup. Any idea ?:(
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf a database consists of more than one datafile, how does SQL Server use the space in these datafiles ?, does it fill up the first one then move to the next and so forth, or does it use up pages across all the files evenly ?.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi need to something like this:
"alter database modify file (name=<name>, ONLINE)",
but it isn't possible.
Here what I did:
alter database bdj add file (name ='bdjfg1', filename='d:db
djfg1.ndf' )
to filegroup bdjfg;
alter database bdj modify file (name='bdjfg1', OFFLINE);
alter database bdj modify file (name ='bdjfg1', filename='d:db
ewdestdjfg1.ndf' );
--Msg 5056, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
--Cannot add, remove, or modify a file in filegroup 'bdjfg' because
the filegroup is offline.
alter database bdj modify filegroup bdjfg READWRITE;
--Msg 5056, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
--Cannot add, remove, or modify a file in filegroup 'bdjfg' because
the filegroup is offline.
Yes, yes and should have read the cautions section saying:
"Use this option only when the file is corrupted and can be restored. A file set to OFFLINE can only
be set online by restoring the file from backup. For more information about restoring a single file,
see RESTORE (Transact-SQL)."
But I have not an backup of the datafile, but I have the datafile itself!
What can I do to get it online again, the old location could be fine, but it would be better on an new location (thats is the reason for all the trouble, the original drive has not much space left, so I wanted to move the datafile)
What can I do, HELP

Please can anybody help me in transferring existing SSIS Packages saved in a shared folder location from development server 2ED to Live server TWD1.
Both has SQL server 2005 running and has visual studio 2005
Currently about 25 SSIS packages are executed from the development server transferring data on Live server TWD1...these ETL process is called from development server but executed on live server.
Now the problem is when i call these packages from the shared folder from live server it crashes.....i need to changes something to shift the whole package to the live server..and execute on live server itself instead of recreating the whole 25 process from scratch.....also i use optimize for many tables ..and run in a single trancastion....so how can i see the mappings of source and destination tables.
Please let me know the process how i can achieve this.
Thanks

Hi,
In SQL Server 2000 how to move a secondary data file to different filegroup without removing and re-creating the secondary data file.
Thanks in advance.

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 --
View 8 Replies View RelatedHi,
I want to insert the contents of a data file into a SQL Server table with XML datatype column using SSIS. I am fairly new to SSIS and script tasks.
Example:
Salary Data file:
EmpID, Name, Salary
100, John, 100000
200, Scott, 200000
Database Table:
create table xmlTable (id int identity(1,1), xmlColumn XML)
The contents of the file needs to be written to xmlTable. For each row in the Salary Data file there will be a corresponding row in the xmlTable.
xmlTable (Result):
1, <EmpID 100...>
2,<EmpID 200...>
Any help with details is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi there,
I have written a program that loads a package (SomePackage.dtsx) from the physical drive and executes that. The package does nothing but imports data from a csv file to the Sql server 2005. But I can see that the package is failing continuously. I meant the package.Execute() method is returning a DTSExecResult.Failure. I investigated the Package.Errors property that contains the error collection and found that there are two DTSError objects into the collection.
The first one€™s description says that
Cannot open the datafile "D:SOME.csv".
And the later one€™s is
component "SOURCE FLAT FILE COMPONENT" (1) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020200E.
But the most interesting thing is if I execute the package through the Execute package Utility (double clicking onto the SomePackage.dtsx file) ships with Sql server 2005 then it executes fine and works as expected. I have checked the permission of the csv file and it has everyone€™s full access.
Can anyone help me on this?
I will appreciate all kind of suggestions.
Thanks

Hey all, WE have a document management system where by Adminstrators can upload documents, once the document is uploaded the binary data is stored on in a folder on the web server. We used to stored the documents in the actaul db table, but we found that there were to many documents and it was using alot of space on db server. So my boss has decided we are now going to upload the binary data onto the web server. Currently we are donig this with new documents which have been added or documents which are gettinguploaded when reloading, but there are many documents in the db table which have not been updated and are still embedded in the db table. So i need to figure out how to go about copying the data storewd in the db table and storing it in web servers folder location. I've tried various things for a enitre day but im going round in circiles. MemoryStream mStream = new MemoryStream((Byte[])dtrResults["file"]); BinaryReader bReader = new BinaryReader(mStream); int intFileSize = (int)mStream.Length; Byte[] byteFile = (Byte[])dtrResults["file"]; i can get to this state but then how do i create a folder on the BinaryREader to then store the binary data of the file to the location. BinaryReader bReader2 = new BinaryReader(File.Open(strDocFolder + strSavedFileName, FileMode.Create)); int count2 = bReader2.Read(byteFile, 0, intFileSize); bReader2.Close();i've also tried this but when the file gets created in the folder there is no content. i do know that the file does contain content as ive tried this and downlaoding the file from that page acctually works string strContentTpe = WValue.WStr(dtrResults["contenttype"]); int intFileSize = VValue.VInt(dtrResults["filesize"]); / Byte[] byteFile = ((Byte[])dtrResults["file"]); //Downloads the data correctly Response.ClearContent(); Response.ClearHeaders(); Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="" + WValue.WStr(dtrResults["docfilename"]) + """); Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", WValue.WStr(intFileSize)); Response.ContentType = strContentTpe; Response.BinaryWrite(byteFile); I hope ive made some snese andthat someone can hlep me. Have a nice dayZal

We currently have two virtual machines running on Windows Server 2003 together with SQL 2005. These servers are in a cluster and are using multiple physcial RAW disk mappings from shared storage (SAN) for their shared disks within a VMware ESXi 5.1 cluster.I need migrate these SQL servers over to new infrastructure, in a new physical location. I tried using VMware converter to import the active member server in the SQL cluster, but I am receiving VSS errors when running the conversion. I can see that shadow copy is disabled on all the disks on the server.

During installation of SQL Server 2000 I set the default location for data files as D:MySQLServer which resulted in the location D:MySQLServerMSSQL.
I then installed SQL Server 2005. I do not remember being given the option of specifying location for the Data Files. Then I read that the location for named instances is deteremined by the first installation of SQL Server. The location for the data files for SQL Server 2005 turned out to be MSSQL.1 but under C:Program Files.....
I want the default location for SQL Server 2005 to be under D:MySQLServer, something like D:MySQLServerMSSQL.1. How do I do I change the default location for the Data Files.

Have written a SSIS package which in turn runs a couple of child packages via the Execute Package control flow task. All is fine if I use a Location of File System for the task. However when I deploy to production I'd like the main package and it's child packages to be under SQL Server.
I can set the Execute Package task location to SQL Server after copying my packages into a development SQL box and again it works. However as it's now executing the package from SQL rather than wihin BIDS it doesn't give me the debugging/flow information for the Child package when I run the parent package. It's also a bit of a pain because even though all the packages are part of the same solution if I make a change to a child package I've got to remember to re-save a copy of it to the SQL database.
Have looked into seeing if I can make the location field for the Execute package task configurable so that I could run as a File System package within BIDS but as a SQL package in production but the Location field doesn't seem to be exposed as a property for the Execute Package task so can't set this as an expression or from a configuration.
Does anyone have any advice on using the Executing package task for child packages which are stored in SQL.
Hi,
I would like to change the default location where new databases are created.
In Server Management Studio, I right clicked my instance and selected Properties. I selected the Database Settings option and am presented with an option to change the Database Default Location (the location for databases and logs can be changed here). If I change the paths for the DB's and logs, and create a new DB, the new files are saved to the new default location paths that I just entered.
My question is this:
If I change these paths, will my system databases (master, model, msdb, tempdb) still be accessible and usable by SQL server? I don't need (want) to change the location of these files, only all my other databases and logs.
Will this do what I want?
Thanks for the help!
