Thread: Moving SLX database from one drive to another

Moving SLX database from one drive to another Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi all,

I need to move a SLX database from one drive to another on the same server. On this dev server we are using SQL Server Management Studio Express which was installed on the C: drive. I want to move the database to our F: Drive as we are running out of space on the C: drive.

My game plan is this....
1. Do a backup first in case something bad happens

2. Right click my database, select Tasks , Detach, and check Drop

3. Using Windows Explorer, copy the existing Primary Data File, Secondary Data File, and Transaction Log from location on C drive

4. Paste these files into new folder on F drive

5. In Studio, right click Database and select Attach, Add, and select mdf file in drive F

Can anyone see any gotchas in this game plan?

Are there any specific SalesLogic features that need to be addressed when moving the database?

Thanks in advance.

Jeff

Sounds like a solid plan.
There should be no need to modified anything on it if all you are doing is moving the DB files to another volume.

It is also possible to do this whole operation in T-SQL - see this article for details:
