Move Tables To New File Group
Nov 22, 1999Just ran the 6.5 to 7.0 upgrade. It put all tables into a 1 large file. Is there a way to move a single table out of the file and into a second filegroup?

SQL Server 2008 :: Moving Tables To New File Group
Mar 16, 2015I'm presented with an issue where by I need to reclaim a fair bit of unused space currently sat in the primary data file for my database. I don't want to run DBCC SHRINKDATABASE as we all know this could potentially have a some serious negative effects relating to index fragmentation.
So, how do I get the free space out of the data file? - I've decided to:
1. Add new new file group
2. Add a clustered index for all tables on the new file group
3. Shrink the primary file group as much as possible (hopefully giving me the free space back)
4. Drop the newly created clustered indexes for all tables
There are no clustered indexes currently for any of the tables!, so me temporarily creating/dropping one shouldn't be an issue. Are there any other ways I can get the free space back to the OS?

                                    Â
File group Dimension tables       Primary Fact tables                       Â

SQL 2012 :: Free Space After Moving Tables From One File Group To Another
Aug 13, 2014Recently maintenance was done removing some tables from the original filegroup in one drive of our SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition 64bits to another created on a separate physical drive. I was expecting the full amount of data moved to the secondary filegroup to show up as unused on the primary filegroup but that doesn't seem to be the case. Do I have to do anything after the move to release that space, not to disk, but to the database as unused?

View 5 Replies View RelatedFile System Task - Move File With Dynamic Destination Path
Oct 9, 2006I am having an issue with the File System Task.
I was wondering if there is a way to 'Move File' with the File System Task inside of a For Each Loop container but to dynamically set the Destination path variable.
Currently, this is what I have:
FileDestinationPath variable - set to C:TestFiles
FileSourcePath variable - set to C:TestFiles
FileNameAndLocation variable - set to blank
For Each Loop Container €“ Iterates through a folder C:TestFiles that has .txt files in it with dates in the file name. Ex: Test_09142006.txt. Sets the file path (fully qualified) to the Variable Mapping FileNameAndLocation.
Script Task (within For Each Loop, first step) €“ Sets the FileDestinationPath to the correct dated folder within C:TestFiles. For example, if the text files I want to move are for the 14th of September, it takes FileDestinationPath and appends the date folder to the end of it. The text files have a date in the file name (test_09142006.txt) and I am picking this apart (from FileNameAndLocation in the For Each Loop) to get the folder date. (dts.Variables(€œUser::FileDestinationPath€?).Value = dts.Variables(€œUser::FileDestinationPath€?).Value & €œ€? Month & €œ_€? & Day & €œ_€? & Year & €œ€?) which gives me €œC:TestFiles 9_14_2006€?.
File System Task (within For Each Loop, second step) €“ This is where the action is supposed to occur. I want it to take the FileDestinationPath and move the FileNameAndLocation file (from the For Loop) into this folder for each run.
Now as for my problem. I want this package to run everyday but it has to set the FileDestinationPath variable dynamically according to that day€™s date. Basically, how do I get this to work since I can€™t hard code the destination path variable from the start? I have the DestinationVariable on the File System Task set to the FileDestinationPath variable, after the script task builds it. However, using FileNameAndLocation as the SourceVariable on my File System Task tells me that the €œVariable €œFileNameAndLocation€? is used as a source or destination and is empty.€?
Let me know if I need to clarify further€¦...I may be missing something very simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Integration Services :: Move Multiple Files Based On File Names Listed In A Spreadsheet / File?
May 27, 2015I need to move specific files from a server to another server on a monthly basis.

Â I have seen where several variables were created for for each file name (and one for the path) and the ForEach Loop would go through them.

How To Move Info From 2 Tables To 1
Apr 7, 2008Hello all,
Ive been tasked with writing a SQL query to move information from 2 tables(old1 and old2) into 1(new). table new already has all the information from old1, but also has some additional columns that are encompassed from old2. Also some of the columns in table new need to be assigned a 1 or a 0 if the information is present in old2. Here is what I came up with:
UPDATE new
SET new.IsRentalLocation = 1
new.IsMainCampus = 1
new.IsLearningCenter = 1
new.IsStudentResource = 1
new.AlternateStateDisp = 0
new.Directions = tbl_old2.Directions
new.Catering = tbl_old2.Catering
new.Lab = tbl_old2.Lab
FROM new, old1, old2
WHERE new.CampusID = old1.CampusID
AND old1.LearningCenterID = old2.LearningCenterID
Does this look right? or should I be using an insert command?

Remote Server. How To Move Tables W/o DTS
May 22, 2008hi,
I have a web hosting account with Network Solutions. I also have my databases hosted on their sql server 2005. (along with a few thousand other database which don't belong to me) . Network Solutions does not allow me to speak to their Technical Support. I must submit a request and they email me their response. Bottom line they are not going to help me with my problem.
I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express to connect remotely to the server.
I have 2 databases. Currently all data is stored in database1
I need to move the tables with the data for my website forum from database1to database2 on the same SQL Server
I have already generated a script which creates the schema for the tables on
database2. The problem is moving the data. The web Host does not allow DTS
Here are the things they won't allow:
You can use all features of SQL 2000 (it is 2005) except for the following:
- DTS Packages
- Database Replication
- Mail Services
- XML Support
- Distributed Transactions
- Database Maintenance Plans
- Web Assistant
- Multiple Instances
I can't for the life of me figure out how to transfer the data.
I have tried copying and pasting the data and run into problems with Identity keys and constraints.
I tried a sql generator script to create insert scripts for each line of each table but it won't work. I'm not sure why.
Bottom-line I can't import and export directly. And I desperately need to.
Thanks in advance!
How To Move Internal Tables To Another Filegroup
May 25, 2007I mange several large databases with multiple files and filegroups. During some maintenance I was trying to remove a filegroup and its files and noticed that I was unable to. It appears that some service broker objects were created on my user defined filegroup.
Looking at the system tables I see several system tables on my user defined filegroup
SELECT o.name +'.' +i.name FROM sysobjects o inner join sysindexes i on i.id = o.id where groupid = 2
queue_messages_1255675521.queue_clustered_index
queue_messages_1255675521.queue_secondary_index
queue_messages_1287675635.queue_clustered_index
queue_messages_1287675635.queue_secondary_index
queue_messages_1319675749.queue_clustered_index
queue_messages_1319675749.queue_secondary_index
my normal tricks do not work as I am unable to even select from these tables.
How to I move them or get rid of them. I am not even sure what is created them as we are not using service broker in our application.
How To Move Tables To A Different Database On The Same Server
Jul 14, 2007I am running SQL Server 2000.
I have about 300 tables scattered across 3 databases that I am trying to consolidate into a single database. There are other tables within these 3 databases that I don't wish to consolidate (so I don't want to copy the full database).
What are my options to move these tables to the consolidated database?
Are there options beyond, the pain and extensive run-time of copying from the DTS wizard into the new database (plus the indices won't copy will they?) or writing code that creates tables in the new database, populates them with data from the old tables and then deletes the old tables?
My understanding is sp_rename won't work with two separate databases --i.e., your destination db must be the same as the db of the object you are renaming. (if my understanding is wrong, that would seem to be the easiest way to accomplish this)
Thanks,

Move Data From Tables On Linked Server To Normal Database?

I can't use a linked server unfortunately.
I wonder if it possible to move data from tables on a linked server to a "normal database"? What am I doing wrong?
