Hi, I've installed SQL 2005 and failed to change the default data
location during installation. Now I want to change it. Can I do this
without having to uninstall and reinstall? And furthermore, is there a
system stored procedure I can use to move existing data and log files
(master, msdb, AdventureWorks, etc.)? I seem to remember doing just
this with SQL 2000 some time back.
Thanks,
Eric
Hi,
I had SQL Server 2000 installed like below:
Installation Directory = C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server
Default data directory = D:
Default log directory = D:
I found out that the data is stored in D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdata and backup is done in D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLackup
However, Microsoft says we should never put the ..ackup and ..data folders in the same partition.
My question is: How can I move the path of the backup directory?
I checked the registy but this is what I found:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMSSQLServerMSSQLServer
..BackupDirectory=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLackup (<-- note it is pointing to C: not D:)
..DefaultData=D:
Can somebody help please?
WE HAVE RECENTLY MOVED THE MSSQLBACKUP FOLDER TO EMC DRIVES E:, BUT SQL IS STILL DEFAULTING BACKUPS TO THE ORIGINAL DEFAULT LOCATION WHICH WAS ON THE D: DRIVE. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THIS? I KNOW THE ORIGINIAL LOCATION IS STORED IN THE REGISTRY, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN CHANGE THE REGISTRY OR IF THERE IS A DIFFERENT PLACE. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.
THANKS

I would like to know how to change the default data directory in SQL Server Express. I have a partitioned hard disk with SQL Installed on the C: drive. I would like to move the data to d: drive. I have just installed SQL and do not have any databases. I have installed SQL with advanced services.
Thanks in advance for your response.
I've created a number of very large databases in Ms Access that I would like to upsize to SQL Server Express. I changed the default data directory location to point to a separate drive with over 400GB of free space on my home pc. However, everytime I try to upsize or link databases using the MS Access Upsizing Wizard the data is saved in the Data directory on my current hard drive and is not saved in the default location I specified. If I create a new database in SQL Express it is saved to the new location. Any ideas on how to force upsizing or uplinked data to go to the new default data location?

Hi there!
My provider does not yet support SQL Server 2005, they are still on SQL Server 2000. I put together a very basic login page, but it is crashing everytime I access it because of this problem, and sadly I am not advanced enough as yet to know how to remedy it! Can you help?
Here is the error page, some of it; - Any ideas gratefully received!

When sql 2005 is created a cert is also created in the Data directory of that instance. What is that cert? Is it the Service Master Key? I noticed that I can movecopydelete it while sql server is running so it doesn't appear to be very secure..

I went ahead and installed RS even though it was clear Microsoft install was confused (re: preivous post). Now I get to experience the thrill of configuration hell.
Report Server Virtual Directory had a green check. Unfortunately the Name block says <Not Set>. When I try to create a New... default directory I get the error message: "The virtual directory could not be created. The previously set virtual directory will still be used."

I'm requesting of our dba that he create a database with recovery simple for my peer and I to start using. I'm asking him to give us db owner on this db so we can create schemas, tables, views, procs, do table inserts, deletes etc etc. what sql permission (if any) would allow my peer and I to do a backup once in a while to the default sql directory for backups? And for that matter a restore from there.

I am trying to find a solution to a thorny problem I have encountered...
I am a newbie in Sql Server 2000, but have quite a bit of experience in databases, both on PC and mainframe.
I am currently writing a program, which needs, among other things, to create Sql Server databases, to be located NOT in the default Mssql2000 directory, but in the user's home directory.
I am using an ADO connection and trying to execute it, as follows:
The text of the relevant part of the program goes like this:
Dim strCreateDatabase As String
Dim MyCn As ADODB.Connection
Set MyCn = New ADODB.Connection
With MyCn
.ConnectionTimeout = 25
.Provider = "sqloledb"
.Properties("Data Source").Value = "MOP"
.Properties("Initial Catalog").Value = ""
.Properties("Integrated Security").Value = "SSPI"
.Open
End With
strCreateDatabase = "Create Database Rimon on (" _
& "Name = Rimon, Filename = '\mopusersMR_DiazsalpmsdataRimon_Data.mdf', " _
& "Size = 20, MaxSize = 100, FileGrowth = 5) " _
& "Log on (Name = 'Rimon', Filename = 'c:usersMR_DiazsalpmsdataRimon_Log.ldf', " _
& "Size = 2, MaxSize = 10, FileGrowth = 1)"
MyCn.Execute strCreateDatabase
Both the name of the Sql Server and the Win2K server is MOP.
All the directories exist, and I have full access to them.
When I try to run this command, I get the following message:
File
'\mopusersMR_DiazsalpmsdataRimon_Data.mdf' is on a network device not supported for database files.
When I omit this location, it works just fine.
If I run it on the server, using another directory, it works just fine.
Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help!

We use extended properties of Active Directory to filter the data in reporting services throw a web services. We send the userid (User!UserId) to the webservices and retrieve some information about the user.
But if we change the name of one user (rename not recreate), he lost all this properties. When try to execute a report show an error:
Parameter validation failed. It is not possible to provide valid values for all parameters. (rsParameterError) I know this issue is in the border of reporting services, but we have spent a lot of time without results and we need any help.
Thanks in advance
Hi There
I installed Sql Server 2005 and SSIS to the C: drive of a server.
However i am going to install 3 more instances on this server and i want to install SSIS on the RAID drive.
So i uninstalled SSIS, then i installed another Sql Server instance on the D drive.
Now when i try to install SSIS, when i go to advanced and browse for installation path it is greyed out and it says that the path has already been bound to the 90DTS folder of the first instance i installed on the C: drive, so basically i dont know how i can install SSIS to another drive ???
Please help.
Thanx
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"?
When I was using ALTER TABLE to create a new field, I accidentally type the wrong word as the DEFAULT.
I typed
ALTER TABLE mytable ADD reporting VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'Monthl';
I did not want 'Monthl', I wanted 'Month'.
How do I change it, drop it, modify it?
I've been looking through the on-line info from MS and I and very confused.

I have compile my application into a Smart Device CAB and also including SQLCE CAB file for SQL.
I have users who choose to install SQLCE into Storage Cards instead and causes the application not to function, when asked which destination to install.
I've done some search and found out about "wceload.exe /noaskdest" but I'm using NSIS to compile into a single .exe file, and its calling "CEAppMgr.exe"
How can I force SQLCE to install into its default directory without asking user?
Thanks!
Hi All,
I am now working on the design phase of my project, we are looking to implement Change Data Capture (CDC) but i need some help if you guys has implemented before using the SSIS 2005 componets. I am trying to use the Following:
Source---------Derived Column---------Lookup---------------Conditional Split (to split New records and Updated Records)-----------Destination. Respectively.
Lets make it clear, my source holds (Old records and newly added or Updated records), the Derived Column is to Derive new columns called Insert_Date and Update_Date. The Lookup i am Using is to look the Fact_Table(the Old Records) as Reference, and then based on this lookup i will split the records on timely based using the Conditional Split. My question is
1. Am i using the right components?
2. what consideration should i have to see to make it true (some Logics on the conditional split)?
3. Any script which helps in this strategy?
4. If you have a better idea please try to help me, i need you help badly.
Thank you,

Hi, all, does anyone know of a way to change default values inside of a table without affecting existing values?
I have a table with default = 0 in usermask column. Some rows already have non 0 values in them. I now need to change the default to 1 but still want the non 0 values be there. I also want the new default to take effect when new rows are entered. What's the best and quickest way to do it?
Thanks for advice.

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?
