I would have to handover my DB with only Primary tables to client as part of SLA.Â
I am planning to keep these primary tables on a secondary file-group but how-ever, I will still have my procedures on primary file-group.Â
How can I accomplish this with client having no exposure to my stored procedures.Â
I would like to SELECT all filegroup on an SQL server instance, is that possible?Or only per database?

View 3 Replies View Relatedthe idea is to put together a folder that is in some place in the computer, like "c:excel_fles" and the database full backup in a single .bak file, the database can be recovered with sql server management studio(but no the folder), the restoration of the program can be done with a program, I think it can be done with msdb, but I'm a little lost in the road.

I have one of our production Accounting Databases starting from 2 GBnow grown into a 20 GB Database over the period of a few years...I have been getting timeouts when transactions are trying to updatedifferent tables in the database.. Most of the error I get are I/Orequests to the data file (Data file of the production dbAccounting_Data.MDF).I would like to implement the following to this Accounting database.I need to split the Data file into multiple files by placing some ofthe tables in different file groups. I have the server upgraded to beable to have different drives in different channels. I can place thesedata and log files in different drives so it will be less I/Oconflicts..I would like to have the following file groups..FileGroup 1 - which will have all database definitions (DDL).FileGroup 2 - I will have the AR Module tables under here..FileGroup 3 - I will have the GL module tables under here..FileGroup 4 - I will have the rest of the tables under hereFileGroup 5 - I will like to place the indexes under here....Also where will the associated transaction files go?I would like to get some help doing this. Is there any articles / helpavailable that I can refer to. Any suggestions / corrections/criticisms to what I have mentioned above is much appreciated...!Thanks in advance....

we currently use Backup Scripts from Ola Hallengren, It Says Full (non copy-only) and differential backups are performed on the primary replica. Full(Copy-only) backups and transaction log backups are performed on the preferred replica.
we currently do FULL(COPY_ONLY) Backup everyday and LOG Backups for every 15 min, is there any performance benefit on running the FULL (non copy-only) on the preferred replica .
If you have a SAN, is there any real benefit to breaking out large tables into file groups?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am looking to find out when to use file groups when backing up. When should you use this, what's the benefit over just doing a full db backup? Is it better when you are dealing with large db's?
Also this question has been on my mind for a while. Why shouldn't you shrink the db after every full backup? What is the negative in doing so?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
While creating our database in only one disc(C or D), suppose that we create more than one file group in order to group our data files. However, in this situation; I wonder that whether it brings any benefit or advantage to us.
Also, I wonder that why we always have to put our data file into separate file group if we use separate discs for data files. Is not it allowed to use only one file group even if we use separate dics ?
Would you explain these to me ?
Thanks
I had a database that’s comprised of different file groups and log files spread out among different hard drives. I have recently upgraded the database to SQL 7.0 on a RAID 10 volume. I would like to consolidate all the file groups and files as well as various log files into one primary datafile and logfile. How do I do that? Thanks in advance.

what is the equivalent conversion in SQL Server. Is it just ON PRIMARY in the PRIMARY KEY clause ?? Are the Segments and Extents in Oracle equivalent to Filegroups in SQL Server.

Something strange.I have a database(SQL2000) with two file group(on seperate physicaldrives).One is meant for table data[PRIMARY] and one for indexes [INDEX].So i create a table on the [PRIMARY] file group, and fill indata.Next I build a clustered index on the table, on the [INDEX] filegroup.Once the index is built, the database now indicates that the filegroupfor the table [INDEX]! and not [PRIMARY] as i originally set it up for!My question it then: Has the table been moved or is this somehow anerror in SQL server?I would really appreciate any thought anyone might have on this?

how can i transfer my already user created tables from primary group to newly created file group.
I will be doing some performance testing on financial application nextmonth. Without going into a lot of details, I suspect I will have apotential bottleneck when writing to the log file.My hardware setup is a quad 2.8 Xeon Dell server direct attached to aDELL/EMC CX200 (Fibre channel array with 10 X 30something GB, 15,000rpm drives, with about 1GB of memory on the array for caching.This is a benchmark environment, so I am not concerned about loosingdata. I am looking for a little guidance on using raid (0 or 10)and/or file groups to spread IO to db objects (log file(s), data,indexes, tempdb, etc). I have read about and played with file groupsenough to know that SQL server does some level of load balancingacross file, but am unclear it is in parallel or serialized.Common wisdom seems to be to separate data, non-clustered index, logs,and tempdb onto separate files, but I am unclear on how to make bestuse of the high-speed disk array. I'd greatly appreciate opinions onwhich would perform better; one file on a stripe set of N drives (raid0 or 10), N files in a file group placed on N (non-striped) drives, ora combination of the two? Is the answer the same for both log and data(or index) files?Thanks,-Bernie
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am looking for the easiest way of rebalancing data across multiple files.
Instead of creating a secondary filegroup and then dropping and recreating all indexes in the database which is going to take ages (we have a lot of tables and indexes), I am trying to just add more files to the primary file group and then rebalance data evenly between these.
I guessed that adding the new files to the primary file group and then rebuilding all indexes on a table should redistribute the table over these multiple file groups evenly. This is not the case though. It does rebalance data a bit but I still end up with the majority on the first file that existed.
I have attached the script I am running, maybe it is something in the create database/file statements that is the issue.
Basically what I am seeing is to start off with the table is 160MB. I then add the file groups and rebuild all indexes on the table. The first file is then about 100MB and each of the three other files are about 20MB. I would expect them all to be the same size.
We have a large Datawarehouse and the size is 50TB.. The tables are placed in filegroups based on the schema like fact, dimensions, raw data each sit on seperate filegroups. I am thinking will it make sense to seperate the large facts which are having billions of rows so that they reside on filegroups on their own..
View 9 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I am facing a peculier problem. Problem definition goes like this,
I have one staging DB in which all the tables resides in Primary file and one production DB in which tables resides in 2 secondary files.
Now when iam trying to load the data from the table A in staging which is on primary file to the table A1 in production DB which in secondary file, all the data are going to error log instead of table A1.
Can you please tell me, where am i going wrong.

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
Hello,
I am building partitiong tables, partitioning on different file groups:
the question is:
Partitioned table referred to old data that are not frequent accessed for reporting can be stored on separate location(External storage, tape and so on) or to make partitioning functioning must all file groups must be presents?
If not, how can I separate old data from current ones (still using partitioning) to reduce the size of DB?
What it is the best for storage data and easy to access it when needs arise (eg reporting): Tape, external storage, others?
Thank
I am wondering if there is such thing as primary key for a view? Assuming, that my view is based on a single table and it's just a subset of columns (some of them renamed) including PK of the table it's based on.
The reason for my question is this - we're using Reverse POCO generator which automatically generates C# Model class and Configuration file for our tables and views. For the view is lists all the columns as a key and therefore I obviously can not use normal way of updating that view. I posted that as an issue here [URL] .... but I am thinking there is no such thing as the "primary key" for a view.
The query used to generate the classes is extremely complex already but may be it can be modified to get the PK ?
SELECT [Extent1].[SchemaName],
[Extent1].[Name] AS TableName,
[Extent1].[TABLE_TYPE] AS TableType,
[UnionAll1].[Ordinal],
[UnionAll1].[Name] AS ColumnName,
[UnionAll1].[IsNullable],
[UnionAll1].[TypeName],
ISNULL([UnionAll1].[MaxLength],0) AS MaxLength,
[Code] ......
I made a quick Google search and found this [URL] ....
It sounds as an interesting idea to try although I am not sure it will work with POCO Generator. But I'm going to try it now anyway.
I have a customer they are running raid 5 on a windows 2000 server one of the drives went bad. The customer replaced the drive and raid rebuilt the drive, every thing seamed to be fine but there is one database file that cannot be attached to SQL. The file is 15G so I know there is information the error states that the file is not a Primary file. Any clue on how to fix this?

I have a new SQL 2005 (SP2) Reporting Services server to which I've just upgraded and deployed some SSRS 2000 reports.
I have a subreport that contains a matrix with two groups. The report data seems to be inexplicably repeating the data for the first row in the group for all rows in the group. Example:
ID1
ID2
DisplayData
1
1
A
1
2
B
1
3
C
2
1
A
2
2
B
2
3
C
Parent group is on ID1, child group is on ID2, report would show:
1
1
A
2
A
3
A
2
1
A
2
A
3
A
Is this a matrix bug in 2005 SP2, or do I need to do something differently? I can no longer pull a comparison version from an SSRS 2000 server to verify, but I believe it was working as expected before...
When the database is configured for mirroring and you want to do partitioning on that database, How can we do? Is this similar process or any variation there while adding file groups and files? The partition will reflect in the mirroring database also?
