Hello,
In process of installing TFS, I unintentionally installed SQL server on C drive as I could'n see any option of selecting the drives.
Is there any way in which I can move the database folder to another drive without reformatting and going through the same procedure.
TIA
Hello all..
I need your precious expertise in resolving one problem . I have transaction log file devices created on on two drives i.e c and d drives .
I want to move the the log device from d drive to c drive or vice versa .
How can i do it . Can somebody help with detailed steps pl .
What are the things necessary to check after the device has been moved to either of the locations , to ensure that everythingh works well .
I have SQL Server 7.0 with SP 3 .
Will the database be marked suspect ? I that case what should i do ?
Any kind of help on the issue will help me a lot .
Thank you all in advance

How do I move the location of the tempdb. I wish to place it on a separated
disk to to increase performance.

I've got some users that created a database with the log file on a drive that doesn't have a lot of space. I'd like to truncate the log and move it to a different drive. I can truncate it, but is moving it as easy as changing the files properties through SSMS?
Thanks
I currently have about 4 databases on our SAN located in one of the drives. These databases are going to expand massively and I want o seperate 1 onto seperate drives located on the SAN. I figured using SQL Server Management Studio I could complete this with an easy "Detach / Attach" operation. When I go to attach the files back into SQL, it doesn't read any other drive other than the current drive all of the databases are located on.
Is there a way to do this?
Hey guys i want to relocate my database datafile and transaction logs from C: drive to D:
From what i have in mind , correct me if i am wrong: First I will create the same folder on D drive as they are on C drive then copy the datafile from C to D , then come back and change the paths on the database files to point on D.
Hello SQLServer gurus,
We created the database with transaction log files and datafiles on the same drive. Now we want to change the transaction log file
location to a different drive. Please let me know the steps to follow. THanks...
Hi, I am working on a new installation which I did not set up and realized was using the wrong partition of the server to store the data and log files, I have already created several databases, I want to use another partition for these databases without having to drop them and create them all over again.
In BOLine i saw this command but want to make sure its safe, hope somebody can comment on this or if I am missing something.thank you
proposed command:
"MODIFY FILE ( NAME = logical_file_name, FILENAME = 'new_path/os_file_name ' )"
I'm using SQL Server 2012 and was attempting to move the msdb, model, and tempdb databases to a new location and accidentally gave their log files an mdf extension instead of ldf when providing the new pathfilename. After the server wouldn't start I checked my script and noticed my error. I have good backups of my system databases, so I was hoping to start the MSSQLSERVER service in single-user mode (using the -m startup parameter) and then just restore master using sqlcmd.Â
Unfortunately the service was starting but I couldn't connect via sqlcmd using any of the three protocols (it said the server was not found or not accessible each time). I also tried using the dedicated Admin connection but I got the same error. Then I went into the Templates folder and copied the master, msdb, model, and tempdb templates into the DATA folder and tried to restart SQL Server but still no luck (now the MSSQLSERVER service won't start at all). Is there an easy way to fix this mess without having to reinstall from the setup application?
I trying to get the moving total (juts as moving average). It always sum up the current record plus previous two records as well and grouped by EmpId.For example, attaching a image of excel calculation.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIt is very intersting to find out that when we are backuping a database we are not able to specify a shared folder .Why?Is it because security concern or it is idenfied as bug or is there any work around.Only thing we are able to specify is that it points to the local drive of the particular server. Help would be more appericated.
View 7 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know where a good article pertaining to where you should locate your Data and Log files (in SQL Server 2005)?
I read an article several years ago stating that Log files should be on a seperate RAID 1 and Data on a seperate RAID 5.
Anyway, any help is appreciated.

Hi Guys,
I'm actually a beginner in SQL Server and I got use to a database called "Cache" where the Data itself is stored separately from the tables (Table definition), and I'm wondering if its the same in SQL Server where the Data is stored in a deferent location then the Table definition, and if so, where it could be stored?
Thanks.
Can someone tell me what the default installation location
is for SQL 2000? Is it different for the default instance
compared to a named instance? What about the tools? It
seems to me I read something about the tools defaulting
to the program filesmicrosoft SQL Server directory.
I guess I'm more concerned about each instance and the
location of those files. I don't necessarily like the
idea of each instance installing to the program files
directory, if that's the default.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to change the location of 'tempdb.mdf'
It locates in C drive but I want to move to D drive because D has much more space than C in my computer.
Thanks,
Mike
Hi,
currently, the default location for new db is c:msqldbdata and I want to change it to another location.
anyone know how?
Thanks.
We have three separate disks for our sql server.
Disk c : system
Disk d : data
Disk e : logs
A couple of months ago our IT manager moved the tempdb database from the c drive to the d and e drives because it had grown to 9Gb and the c drive had run out of space. When I discovered this, I shrank tempdb back to it's specified size of 1.9Gb and now I want to move it back to the c drive because I believe we will see better performance with the system + tempdb together than with the data/logs + tempdb together. Am I correct?
A couple of notes. Server is used exclusively by SQL server. We have three large databases (40Gb, 20Gb, 15Gb), three databases around 4Gb databases and around 15 smaller databases. Most of them are accessed exclusively from a web application.
Easy question, I hope We are setting up an active active sql cluster. The management have done everything the wrong way around and purchased the hardware already.
We are planning on having 2 databases 1 in each instance. We will place the transaction log files for each database on their own cluster "physical disk" resource. We only have 4 disks availalbe for the transaction log files. To make things a little more complicated I have been given no information on the expected transaction use other than they should be no larger than 50GB
Here are my options
1. 2 Mirrored raid arrays one for each sql instance
2. 1 Raid 10 array with 2 logical drives (so the transaction logs are sharing the same disk spindles)
What would you do? seperate the disk spindles or share them and go for fast disk performace.
Thanks in advanced
Hi all,
I hope someone can give me some tips on how to implement a nice solution.
I need a table to store distances between 2 locations.
First thought was to make a table like this
- id
- fromid
- toid
- distance
However distances can be used in both directions.
So a search to get distance between xx and yy would be: select distance where (fromid = xx and toid = yy) or (fromid=yy and toid=xx)
A unique index (fromid, toid) would make sure no double entries are made, but this still doesn't deny anyone from changing from and to and entering a distance in the other direction (from yy to xx)
Any suggestions for a cleaner db design ?
Ideally one where searches don't need the or, or where the db design can restrict people from entering a distance in the other direction ?
I could force something in business logic to sort locations alphabetically but that also seems like a dirty trick..

When I'm looking at the properties of my dbases I see there are at c:program filesms sql server etc..
But I want to put ALL my current and future databases to E:.
Can somebody tell me how to achieve that?
I have an installation of SQL2005 SP1 configured as follows:
Dell Poweredge 2650 with 4 GB RAM
c:, d: and e: are all on the local host and f: and g: drives are on a SAN. I have the system db's on the e: local disk and the Team Foundation Server databases and logfiles on the SAN disks. SQL2005 is installed to the E: disk.
We are migrating VSS to TFS and our times are very long for a simple 1 GB migration.
I need to know if I need the application databases and logfiles and system databases on the same disk because I see a lot of disk thrash and the tempdb is getting large, 3 GB today.
SQL architecture - should the system db's be on the same disk as the application db's?
Thanks
Hi,
When the battery dies the SQL Ce installation vanishes. Especially the following dlls which were copied into the Windows directory during installation are getting vanished when the battery dies.
sqlCese30.dll
sqlCepqp30.dll
sqlcemme30.dll
sqlceer30EN.dll
I guess this is because of the fact that RAM content vanishes when the power goes off.
Is there a way i could install the SQL CE in the Storage Card?
I can install the Compact Framework in the Storage Card but not the SQL CE.
I have installed the CF, My application in the Storage Card. Just because of this SQL CE does not allow me to choose the installation directory, i have to install the SQL CE everytime the battery dies out.
Can anyone tell me where the data for a snapshot is kept at?

Can SQL Server be installed onto a file server...if so, how?
How do you know what exactly to use as the database name?
In school the prof says he is not exactly a database programmer but gave us some code he had from an old one. That code worked fine if you want to actually connect to the database at school but I want to send everything right through sqlexpress on my own machine so I can work on the programs at home.
The following is the code to connect to the school database, how would I change it to connect through sqlexpress instead?
Code Snippet
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace Database
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Class1.
/// </summary>
public class Class1
{
SqlConnection connection;
public Class1()
{
}//closes constructor
public void connect(string computerID)
{
connection = new SqlConnection("Data Source = " + computerID +
"; Initial Catalog = test; Integrated Security = SSPI");
try
{
if(connection.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
connection.Open();
}//closes try
catch(Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("connection no" + ex.Message.ToString());
}//closes catch
}//closes connection method
public void Write(string Name, string ID, string Grade, string Average)
{
string add = "INSERT INTO Example VALUES('" + Name + "', '" +
ID + "', '" + Grade + "', '" + Average + "');";
try
{
connect("DNV-WS-RM336INS");
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(add, connection);
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
}//closes try
catch(Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString());
}//closes catch
this.connection.Close();
}//closes write mehtod
public string Read()
{
string Info = "";
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("select * from Example;", connection);
SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();
try
{
while(reader.Read())
Info += reader.GetString(1).ToString() + " " +
reader.GetString(2).ToString() + " " +
reader.GetString(3).ToString() + " " +
reader.GetString(4).ToString() + "";
}//closes try
catch(Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("read Method " + ex);
//Console.WriteLine("Error retrieving data.");
}//closes catch
reader.Close();
return Info;
}//closes read method
}//closes class
}//closes namespace
What I tried was replacing the dialog for the school database with just the text sqlexpress but that certainly didn't work.
Hello,
I'm wondering where exactly is the default location of the rdl file stored on the server?http://<server>/reports/

Got a couple of questions
1. If you are managing databases in SQL Express with SQL Server Managment Express CTP, why doesnt VBE place the database there where you can see them? I can create a database inside SQL Server Managment Express CTP and view its tables, relations,etc. from within SQL Server Managment Express CTP, but when I make a database with VBE it does not show up in SQL Server Managment Express CTP. Also the database that was made inside SQL Server Managment Express CTP cannot be seen from VBE. Why? what did I do wrong, or is it supposed to be like that? Is that where you would want to place a database for multiple pc to share?
2.Login Question ;-----shouldnt post this here but,
Is there a reason why you dont want to use SQL Authetication over Windows? The are a few pcs here that doesnt have user accounts installed(I know that not a good practice, but when you have multiple people needing different data quickly- switching users is not preferred, its a time thing for what I would call dummy terminals).
How do you take an instance of SQL and change to SQL Authetication over windows?
Curious?

Hi all,
Need Some Advice€¦
Current Setup of the Databases:
All €œsystem databases€? + €œreportserver & reportservertempdb€? are on €œ D drive€? --- Raid 1 ( Mirrored) and their location is : D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData
Free Space left on "D" Drive is # 18 Gb.
€œUser Databases€? are on ---- €œE Drive€? --- Raid 5 and their location is E:Datadb
Now , we got new storage device with much larger capacity. So, we are planning to transfer our databases on this new drive which is €œRAID 5€?.
My question is:
(1) Should I transfer all the databases ( (i.e.) €œsystem databases€?+ €œreportserver & ReportServerTempdb€? + €œUser databases€?) on that new drive ( RAID 5).
(OR)
(2) Keep the €œsystem databases€? + €œReportServer& ReportServerTempdb€? on the old
drive (i.e.) RAID 1 and Transfer only the €œUSER Databases€? on that new drive (i.e.) RAID 5.
(OR)
(3) Transter only Tempdb to the new drive (i.e.) on Raid 5, so as to avoid any I/O congestion. and keep all other system & ReportServer & ReportServerTempdb on the old "D"drive.
(OR)
(4) Is there anything I should be careful when doing this & Is there any better way of doing this€¦.
Thanks for all your help€¦.

How do I move the tempdb to a different drive? It can't be dropped and it is automatically put on the same drive as the master during installation. I have moved a transaction log to a different drive, but I can't change the tempdb location. Please help.
