Hi, In my system, for creating a databae the default path is in C: drive, but iwant to change into D: drive as a default path.Please tell me how to change??
I want to change the default date format from 'mdy' to 'dmy'. I can do this for session by using SET DATEFORMAT 'dmy' but I want to this permanent on Database level (preferred) or SQL instance level how can I do this?
The area to change my default database location is "greyed" out. I wish to put all my data on a seperate drive than the OS (D:). What am I missing that I can't change the default database location?

I am able to get data from tables in the default database specified with the DSN. But I want to go to other database than the default. Thanks a lot in advamce for your help! Kazu
When a new database is created in enterprise manager the path for the database and transaction logs are defaulted to d:mssql7data or wherever you installed SQL Server to initially. Is there a way to change the defaults to place the data on one drive and the logs on a different drive?
In sql 2000, during the installation an option was given to allow the installer to install to a different drive or path, however in sql 2005, I do not see an option. During the installation it does give you the option of installing via the command line interface, however this would be the last option. If this is the only method of installing sql 2005 for a different data drive path, then please provide the command line to do this. I've used the command line osql/isql to restore db's in sql 2000/msde and it's a pain.
I have a question on how to change a hyperlink path. I have an ADP that has our scanned files linked to it the path is on SQL server. The problems is that we are migrating sql server and the files to their own seperate server, \gcfs01databaseBackgroundsSCANNED ACROBAT DOCUMENTS (BACKGROUNDS)SCANNED ACTIVE FILES5630.pdf
The server is called \gcfsql Instead of gcfs01. does anyone know how we can change the unc path to gcfsql without

I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition in parallel with SQL Server 2000. The server is a Dell 2650 with 1 GB RAM running Windows 2000 Server.
The initial part of the setup runs the System Configuration Checker (SCC), which is generating this warning:
The server is a member of a domain, but I am logged in as the local administrator. The drive is not compressed. There are no file system problems. I am at a loss as to why this warning is occuring, and do not want to proceed until I figure this out.
(I got this warning on another server as well. That was a test server, so I proceeded. The engine seems to run ok, but SSIS will not load, says a component is missing. Not sure if the two issues are related or not).
during period of troubles connecting to Local Servers and Sites location i.e., to [URL], the place where all Reports are saved by default, I have continued to work on some Reports that have been saved to file system of my localhost/developing machine. But, upon recovery of http location, I can not see/open those files?
how to approach those files in order to open them in Report Builder 3.0 and thus, to "save as" them to the http location? Seems that Report Builder has chosen that location, by default, somehow.....
I instance where customers want to migrate SQl dB to a new server. I want to change part of the path to lowercase.
The part to be change is always a computer name i.e. ComputernameDatareportA24440 testUser.doc I want to define the computername and the script changes only the computername to lowercase
Using Update Table set Path =LOWER(Path) -- etc. Go
Changes all the path to lowercase,
Note the Computername will always be different depending on the customer. The reason for changing the PCname to lowercase each client can type the PC name in various ways
I need someone that knows something about SQL queries.
I have a client that is running a Database known as ProLaw. It is in part a document management system for Law Offices.
They have an SQL 2005 database that tracks per client all the documents they create.
We had to replace there server with new server. The new server is running sbs2003 and had to have a different Netbios name then the old sbs2000 server. (Small Bus. Server has some weird quirks that make simply using the same netbios name impossible. Google search it if you don't believe me.)
The database holds in a single column the full network share path to each document.
Different documents may have different names and more subdirectories but the root path of "\lawwillsbs2000ProlawDocuments" is shared by all.
The new server is named \sbs2003 I need to change the first part of almost 3000 path statements to the new server. The rest of the path is unchanged.
I have had several people running prolaw tell me that I should run this query:
UPDATE Events
SET DocDir=REPLACE(DocDir, '\\lawwillsbs2000', '\\sbs2003')
WHERE EventKind='O'
This doesn't work. Nothing is changed. I'm guessing it is because this query assumes the value will be ONLY \lawwillsbs2000 I see nothing in here that tells the query that this is only part of the string. No wild card or other marker.
I need some kind of string function here do I not? Anyone know enough to help me craft a proper query?
Currently we have SQL instance on C: drive.We are now going to upgrade SQL Server 2008 RTM to SQL 2008 SP4.Can we change the path of SQL instance during upgrade?What services need to be stopped during upgrade.
There was a 2008 SSRS service running on server "abc".
I have a .Net UI that uses the wsdl at [URL] ....
They deployed SSRS 2012 service on a new server "xyz".
DNS points abc to xyz. Nslookup looks right shows both xyz and abc alias to the same IP.
when I try to go to [URL] .... it redirects to xyz as expected for the host name but the HTTP GET /ReportServer is appended with GET /Reports/ReportServer which doesn't exist and I get an 404 error.
I have no admin rights to see anything and I have no idea if it was an inplace upgrade or a new server. I assume it's new since the actual server name changed in nslookup. Why would it append the default virtual directory when it makes the hop to server "xyz"?

I have connected to the SQL Server 2005 instance usign the SQL Server Management Studio; I have changed the default locations for the database and log files. I have also rebooted the machine. When I look in the SQL Server Configuration Manager in the properties for the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) I see that the data path is still set to the old value and this field is read-only. How can this can changed without going through the registry?
The columns fro which we do not enter any values.Fro eg in my table i did not insert any values to Balance col,in my table. In SQL 2005,management studio,when i said modify table and changed the default to 0 from NULL and also unchecked the checkbox saying Allow Nulls.
I did the above changes and said save.It gave an error saying
'AccountsBalance' table - Unable to modify table. Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Balance', table 'AccountBalanceSheet.dbo.Tmp_AccountsBalance'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated.
Is this the only way to rename the default SQLEXPRESS instance name? http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q283811 Is there an easier way? I tried going to Register and changing it.. but that didn't seem to do anything.
Hi, all, does anyone know of a way to change default values inside of a table without affecting existing values?

Hello The default location where db's are created is almost full. Is there any way to change the default location where the .mdf and .ldf are created when I create a new db? I know I can do this when I create a new db and go select where I want it to be, but can I make it default to a different directory automatically so no human intervention is needed? tia r/P
