I installed sql server 2012 on windows2012R2 when I creat a new filegroup and try to change like a default give me this message error:
cannot change the properties of empty filegroup the filegroup must contain at least one file (Microsoft sql server, error:5050)
Hello,I have been trying to figure out how to temporarily change the maxfilegroup size of a SQL 2000 database I "inherited" when our DBA quit.I just need some breathing room until I can figure out how to properlyarchive and remove some filegroups.Here is the scenario, my filegroup is set to 20. Each filegroup is setto grow to 4096.I currently have all 20 filegroups in use and filegroup number 20 ismore than 1/2 full.I have considered making the max size for each filegroup larger butbelieve this is treating the symptom not fixing the problem.I would RTFM if I knew how to ask the question in 5 words or less.I have plenty of room to grow in terms of disk space.In Query Analyzer I suspect I have to use an ALTER DATABASEIn Gui mode I suspect I have to right click on the database properties,filegoups,,,,In the past I have setup my databases with 1 filegroup and autoconfigured to grow as needed so this is new territory for me so pleasefeel free to dumb it down for a noob as I need baby steps.

I try to find the best design for a SQL Server 2005 database structure.
I have the following 'objects':
Facilities
Departments - 'dependents' of a Facility
Users
Addresses - each of the above can have none or more Addresses.
The basic tables design would be:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Facility](
[cFacilityID] [nvarchar](5) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ,
[cFacilityName] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL
)
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Department](
[cFacilityID] [nvarchar](5) NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES [dbo].[Facility] ([cFacilityID]) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE,
[cDepartmentID] [nvarchar](3) NOT NULL,
[cDepartmentName] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [cFacilityID], [cDepartmentID])
)
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[User](
[cUserID] [nvarchar](5) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
[cUserName] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL
)
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Addresses](
[pkAddress] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
[cAddress] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[cZip] [nvarchar](5) NULL,
[cEmail] [nvarchar](255) NULL
)
GO
The question regards the Addresses table:
How can I design the Addresses table(s) so I can enforce relational integrity and cascade update and delete for each Facility, Department and User tables?
I figured out the following options, but none achives my requirements:
1. An Address table for each 'object': FacilityAddress, DepartmentAddress, UserAddress with the corresponding foreign key in each Address table. This solution duplicates all the addresses fields (which are more than I showed in the example).
2. A common Addresses table with a discriminator field (1=Facility, 2=Department, 3=User). This doesn't allow me to enforce referential integrity with constraint, maybe only with triggers.
3. A common Addresses table with a foreign key for each 'object (fkFacility, fkDepartment, fkUser) allowing nulls. In this case, the 'dependence' between Facility and Department stops me to enforce cascade deletes/updates on both Facility and Department foreign key (circular...).
4. An intermediate (link) table between each 'object' and Addresses table with the foreign keys (Facility, Addresses). Again, no referential integrity.
So, is there a method to design such structure?
PS. Please keep in mind that this is just a simplified example (reduced at the key information) of my real structure.
Thanks,
Ioan
Hi There
I am running SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, i want to split my data and indexes on different drives.
In 2000 i had to recreate clustered indexes and non clustered indexes on the correct filegroups to accomplish this.
In 2005 i see there is a ALTER TABLE MOVE TO Filegroup option, thats cool.
Does this effectively do the same as rebuilding the clustered index on the new filegroup? Will this leave the other indexes of the table on the primay filegroup or move them as well ?
If i wanted to also move the non clustered indexes is there a better way to move them that drop and re-create on the new filegroup in 2005, i see the ALTER INDEX statement does not support a move to filegroup option.
In a nutshell what is the best/easiest way to move exisitng table data and indexes to new file groups in Sql Server 2005 Enterprise Edition?
Thanx

I can use the Design Table option in every database and any user table on my server except for two databases which were transfered from a SQL 6.0 server.
I can't even use Design Table to create a new table in these databases. I get the Design form up and it allows me to add columns, but when I try to save the changes I get the following error message:
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'full'.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'full'.
One thing I have noticed is under Users for the database, all my users come up as 'via group membership' for the Database Access column for the database I am having problems with. All other databases the users come up as 'Permit' for the Database Access column. I assume this has to do with security. But I have tried everything to change this. I can not get a user to come up as 'Permit' under these two converted databases.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Hi
I'm running SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 on a Danish PC, and I need to have the server language set to Danish.
However, when I want to change the language in server properties (the current language is English (US) using Management Studio Express, I can't - all of the properties on the General page are greyed out.
I know that the SQL Server Express SP1 download is available in several languages (Danish not being one of them) - does that mean that I can't get my SQL Server Express SP1 installation to "speak" Danish at all?
Please help - it's driving me up the wall.

In tsql, I need to setup a linked server and want to set the Properties -> Security -> For a login not defined in the list above, connections will: -> Not be made But I cannot figure out how to set it to Not be made. I manually set it in the GUI, and the scripted the linked server and when I ran the script to create it was set to Be made using the login's current security context. The create script did not even set it correctly.
I have looked around and all that I have found is a column in sys.linked_logins, uses_self_credential that looks promising. But I cannot change the system catalog.

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?
View 10 Replies View RelatedThis seems to be a rather old problem (http://www.themssforum.com/SQLServer/Does-empty/) but I couldn't find an answer yet.
The problem is: I have two tables t1 and t2 where t1 is a staging area of t2.
t1: (id int not null, phone varchar(30))
t2: (id int not null, phone varchar(30))
Data in t1: (1, '') <- empty string
Data in t2: (1, ' ') <- a blank
Comparing t1.phone with t2.phone results in equality which in my opinion isn't correct.
The question ist: How can I change the behaviour of SQL-Server to result in inequality so that the change in my staging table is detected correctly?
Thanks in advance

I have my SSIS package that reads elements from a Sharepoint list to a SQL table. The data type of my source is string and the destination is integer. The source column can sometimes be an empty string "" (not a required column)

Hi...
I need to alter a table and change the length of one of my fields. I have a couple million rows in the database already and I am getting timeouts when I try to save it after changing the length of the field.
Is there any way to set the database timeout differently for a session in Management Studio.
I have set the Remote Query Timeout property to 0(Unlimited), but my session in SQL Mgmt Studio still gives me the timeout.
If there is no solution to this, can anyone think of something better than this....
SELECT * INTO temp from mytable
DELETE FROM mytable
(Modify Design of mytable)
INSERT INTO mytable SELECT * FROM temp
?
Well, thanks in advance for any help!

How to design tables in SQL Server for the above.
Ok, I'm doing a football database for fixtures and stuff. The problem I am having is that in a fixture, there is both a home, and an away team. The tables as a result are something like this:
-------
Fixture
-------
fix_id
fix_date
fix_played
----
Team
----
tem_id
tem_name
-----------
TeamFixture
-----------
fix_id
tem_id
homeorawayteam
goals
It's not exactly like that, but you get the point. The question is, can I do a fixture query which results in one record per fixture, showing both teams details. The first in a hometeam field and the second in an away team field.
Fixture contains the details about the fixture like date and fixture id and has it been played
Team contains team info like team id, name, associated graphic
TeamFixture is the table which links the fixture to it's home and away team.
TeamFixture exists to prevent a many to many type relationship.
Make sense? Sorry if this turns out to be really easy, just can't get my head around it at the mo!
I would like to create a table called product. My objective is to get list of packages available for each product in data grid view column while selecting each product. Each product may have different packages type (eg:- Nos, CTN, OTR etc). Some product may have two packages and some for 3 packages etc. Quantity in each packages also may be differ ( for eg:- for some CTN may contain 12 nos or in other case 8 nos etc). Prices for each packages also will be different that also need to show. How to design the table..
Product name :
Nestle milk |
Rainbow milk
packages :
CTN,OTR, NOs |
CTN, NOs
Price:
50,20,5 |
40,6
(Remarks for your reference):CTN=10nos, OTR=4 nos
| CTN=8 Nos

I am asked to split this table into 2 filegroups and move text and images on to one and other stuff on one.
I am new to MS-SQL 7.0.
Can anyone suggest me how to go for it.
Thanking you.
i understand that the filegroup for a table can be specified in the CREATE Table statement. just out of curiosity, is there any way to move a table to a different filegroup, that too, if the table contains data.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
There is a table which is about 50GB is size.
I am thinking of placing the database of this table into a separate .ndf on a separate drive on the server.
Is it possible to place this particular table into a searate drive to increase the performance even more?
Basically my question is: is it possible to place tables into separate .ndf files?
Thanks
Hi,
I have created a database with two filegroups called FG_GroupData, FG_GroupHistory.
FG_GroupData is set as default.
FG_GroupData contains two secondary data files i.e. GroupData1.ndf and GroupData2.ndf
I can create a table so that it is stored in FG_GroupHistory. i.e.
CREATE TABLE dbo.OrdersHistory
(
OrderID int NOT NULL,
ProductID int NOT NULL,
CustomerID int NOT NULL,
UnitPrice money NOT NULL,
OrderQty smallint NOT NULL
)
ON FG_GroupHistory
Questions:
1)
How do I add tables to each .ndf file inside a group i.e. FG_GroupData
For example, how do I add a table to GroupData1.ndf and one to GroupData2.ndf ?
2)
I guess there is no need to place the file name i.e. .ndf inside the select query
Thanks
What is the advantage of having two secondary files inside a filegroup.
For example, I can create a table and place it inside a filegroup which obviously will use the secondary files.
Not sure why some DBAs create just one but otherscreate more than one secondar files in a filegroup.
I have read the booksonline but can not figure out the advantages.
Thanks
