RE: Moving Databases Urgent!!!

 

  

Hi Adi

First you need to take backup of all databases.

a) For Master -
RUN SQLSERVR -c -m (in single mode)
Open query analyzer

RESTORE DATABASE MASTER FROM <BackUPFile>
WITH
MOVE 'master' TO <New Location>,
MOVE 'master' TO <New Location>,
REPLACE


Restart SQL SERVER AGAIN WITH

RUN SQLSERVR -c -f

Update Sysdatabases filename column with latest filename if not found
updated for Master .


Master Moved (Note : Logical and Physical Name of DB must be same use
Restore FileListOnly From <BackUPFile> before restoring )


b) For tempdb

Use Master

Update Sysdatabases SET FileName='New File Name with path.mdf' WHERE
NAME='tempdb'

ALTER DATABASE tempdb
Modify File (name=tempdev, filename='New Path with filename.mdf'

ALTER DATABASE tempdb
Modify File (name=templog, filename='New Path with filename.ldf'

Restart SQL SERVER Again. On Successful- DELETE old log file and old mdf
file of tempdb.



c) FOR MSDB, Model and User Defined Database

First deatch the Model database Using sp_detach_db


RESTORE DATABASE [MSDB/MODEL/User Defined Database] FROM <BackUPFile>
WITH
MOVE 'DatabaseFileName' TO <New Location>,
MOVE 'DatabaseLogicalFileName'' TO <New Location>,
REPLACE
