Adding New Volume And Swapping Drive Letters....
Apr 11, 2007
Hello - I have a SQL 2000 server which has a D: drive that contains all of my databases (system and user). I am running out of space on this volume and need to migrate the contents of this volume to a larger one. My initial plan was to introduce a new volume to the server (say a K: drive). Backup all databases (of course), and then stop all SQL services. Copy all data from D: to K:. Once data is copied, swap drive letter names (D: to I: and then K: to D. Then restart SQL services. SQL should not know any better since everything was on the D: drive when it went down, and everythiing is still on the D: drive when it came back up, correct?
The other option mentioned is to detatch the databases, copy the data and then reattach them in their new locations. I understand this method, but it seems more involved (and riskier) than just renaming the drives. Does anyone have an opinion regarding these two migration methods? Thanks for your help.

As part of a migration of data to a new SAN I have hit a bit of a snag in the migration. In summary what will happen is user database data files will be moved from one LUN (say drive F:) to a new LUN (say drive G:). Once all the data is migrated, plan is to remove dependency of that drive from SQL server and remove the drive and delete the LUN. So far, so good.
However one of the LUNs (drive D:) destined to be deleted also hosts the instance default directories, i.e. everything under MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER (Data, Backups, FTData, JOBS, etc). BOL has articles on how to migrate system databases, including tempdb. But there is no guidance that I could find on how to relocate other folders. There are forums where users have listed registry changes, etc that can achieve this but these are steps I am unwilling to take on a production server.
So my plan is:
1) Add new drive to cluster (drive E:), sufficiently large enough to host instance default folders
2) Shutdown SQL server
3) Copy all default folders to new drive
4) Swap drive letters so that new drive is now D:
5) Start SQL server and if everything works, delete the original drive (which is now drive E:).

All,
I'm writing to ask if anyone knows whether or not MS SQL server stores in any system tables the association between a database and the drive letter/directory path where its corresponding MDF/LDF files are located.
Thanks,
Isaac

All,
I have a test server that needs the drive letters changed for the data, log and backup drives. Is there a way to make this change without reinstalling SQL Server?

I am converting a legacy ASP.NET 1.x site to an ASP.NET 2 one. In the former site, sets of data connections are stored in an web.config file allowing swapping between testing and production servers based on a global variable value at the start of the app. As I now try to use sqldatasource, I find the control has its connection string embedded in the html page and stored as a unique variable in the web.config. How can I dynamically swap the new sqldatasource's connectionstring the same way data connections are made in the former site? Please advise. Thanks.

I have a table that has a column for each month and I want to use a view to convert each row into 12 rows with a one month column. The month column will have 1 - 12 in it depending on the month. I need to convert it this way to push it into an Essbase cube. I know I can use the union operator to do this, but I would rather not read the table 12 times. Is there a way to do this just reading through the table once? My Hyperion Essbase book gives an Oracle example for swapping rows and columns by using a decode function. Is there a similar function in SQL Server?

I need to build a *.sql script that will remove a database (let's callit "DB1") and replace it with a brand new empty database (let's call it"DB2").Caveat: I don't want to be left with database "DB1" having it's filesconfusingly named "DB2.mdf" and "DB2_log.ldf". These two files shouldalso be renamed to "DB1.mdf" and "DB1_log.ldf" so that outsidecustomers are not left confused. In addition, I need to be able torestore the original DB1 if anything goes wrong during, or even after,the entire process.Let's assume every customer's *.mdf's and *.ldf's will always reside inC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdata folder.I've researched sp_attach_db, but this looks more appropriate formoving databases. This isn't what I want to do.Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Is it possible on a matrix report for the rows and columns to be swapped around after the report has been built? E.g, can the rows and columns be swapped around by the user in the preview page?

I've got a field that might have spurious values in it (say, an admin adds a new row but doesn't have an entry for this field).
I'm trying to swap in the string no_image_EN.jpg if the value in the db does NOT end in .jpg. That way, any value rreturned is either a valid filename or no_image
I'm having trouble with the CASE statement, particularly testing just the last few cahracters of the string:
select product_code,
CASE can_image_en
?? When (can_image_en LIKE '%.jpg') then can_image_en
Else 'no_image_EN.jpg'
End as can_image_en,
none of these do the trick either (some are bad syntax obviously):
? When (can_image_en LIKE '%.jpg') then can_image_en
? When LIKE '.jpg' then can_image_en
? When '%.jpg' then can_image_en
? When right(can_image_en,4) = '%.jpg' then can_image_en This is the one that has correct syntax, though it seems to return false in ALL cases CASE can_image_en
When '%.jpg%' then can_image_en
Else 'no_image_EN.jpg'

All,To make a long story short, we are swapping out the "knock-off" drivesthat the NA purchased on E-Bay in one of our production SQL Servers(SQL Server 2000 Enterprise) this weekend for brand new ones (Compaq15K RPM 32GB drives). We are currently experiencing ASR almost on adaily basis and it is really causing a disription in service. SO, TheNetwork Admin ahs made this decison to replace these drives in attemptto solve this. These new drives will be imaged with ALL of the currentdata on the "knock-off' drives and will be plugged back in to thisdatabase server and brought back up .This Server also happens tocurrently be a subscriber in Merge Replication as well. Besidesstopping replication to this subscriber is there any other tasks thatI need to do or concerns that I need to be knowledgable about or lookfor when we bring this database server backup on line this weekend?Thanks Travis. :)

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...

Is there a way to permanently change the order of the columns in Job Activity Monitor?
I'd like to move Duration to the right of Step Name, but this only lasts so long as I have JAM open. Once I close it and re-open, JAM goes back to its default column order. Google gives me nothing but the temporary "drag and drop" method that I already know about.

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..

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.

Hi
I would like to perform a procedure
which takes a string of numbers and searches for strings in a table which include all the
given numbers in any particular order. problem is i can only return strings
which include 'any' of the letters in the search string and not
'all'.
this is how i perform it so far:
@IncludeNumbers
VARCHAR(50)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT Phone AS [Telephone
Number]
FROM tbl_Person AS p
WHERE (p.Phone LIKE '%[' +
@IncludeNumbers + ']%')
END
(ive removed some unecessary bits but
this shows the basics)
As you can see currently it will return any phone numbers which contain any numbers given in the includeNumbers string, I would only like it to return phone numbers which contain all the numbers given in the includeNumbers string. is there any way to make it search for strings
which include 'all' numbers given?
thanks

Hi,
I have a table in an Access db that stores information about speech files. One of the fields in this table is called "Text" and it contains the phrase spoken in that particular speechfile.
These phrases often have characters such as the "#" sign at the end to indicate what tone of voice is used.
I am trying to create a Search where users can enter the phrase they are looking for, and will be returned the file (or combination of files) that contain this phrase.
My problem is, when I try to search for a string of text that includes the "#" I get 0 results everytime.
An example of what I am doing is this:
SELECT Speechfiles.Name FROM Speechfiles
WHERE Speechfiles.Text LIKE 'aero#'
It works fine for 'aero' or '*aero*' but whenever I try to add a character that is not a letter, it won't work.
If anyone has any ideas, I would REALLY appreciate it!!! I am completely at a loss.
Thanks so much....

We have a 4 processor 350 Hz NT 4.0 SQL server. Currently we have an application
that is inserting rows one at a time, each row insert is a separate transaction.
Currenty we are averaging 2500 rows a second with each row ( 56 bytes wide).
The data and the log are on one string of Raid disk. We plan to get another controller
and raid string to separate the data and the log onto separate controllers.
The developer is modifying the application to insert the data in blocks. What is the
impact to the transaction log? He seems to think that by inserting page blocks on
rows there would be less data going into the transaction log. Why would this be so?
Does anyone have any information on practical limits for inserts and log truncation
with similar machine configurations. He would like to try to get around 150,000 rows a second.
Has anyone accomplished inserts at this rate? What type of machine configuration?
