Change Logical File Name Containing a Hyphen

I'm running SQL Server 2000. I have a DB with a logical file name containing
a hyphen. When trying to change the size of the db and log files by running
the following SQL statement it throws an error stating the file name is not
listed in sysfiles:
-- Modify db file size and max size
alter database DB_NAME_DS
MODIFY FILE
(
NAME = [DB_NAME-DS_DATA],
SIZE = 50MB,
MAXSIZE = 100MB,
FILEGROWTH = 50MB
)
-- Modify log file size and max size
alter database DB_NAME_DS
MODIFY FILE
(
NAME = [DB_NAME-DS_Log],
SIZE = 50MB,
MAXSIZE = 100MB,
FILEGROWTH = 50MB
)
GO
I've verified the logical file names using SP_HELPDB. When the DB was
created I did not specify any logical file names. SQL Server assigned them
automatically and put the hyphens in. What is causing the problem with the
SQL command and how can I get around this problem.
Thanks for any help!Please post result of following:

Change logfile location durring setup SQL 2000

Is there a possibility to change the default instalation directory for
the logfiles for sql server 2000? I would like the default database
files to be placed on teh d: drive and the logfiles on the e: drive?

Setup doesn't have a separate path for the log files, however in
Enterprise Manager you can go into the Server Properties, and on the
Database Settings tab you can select a default location for new
database files. These values are saved in registry keys, so if you
need to do it programmatically, you can edit the registry directly:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\ MSSQLServer\DefaultData
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\ MSSQLServer\DefaultLog

Change location of RS log files?

Hi,
How can I change the location where the RS log files are
stored/created? The .config file seems to have options to change the
filename, but will this allow me to specify a different folder as
well?
We would like to put these files on a seperate hard drive from our
main application drive, in case the log files ever happen to grow
exponentially and fill the entire DB again.
Matt BrownEach of the following files for MS Reporting Services has a section called
RStrace that contains the settings for the log files.
...\ReportServer\bin\ReportingServicesService.exe.config
â?¦\ReportServer\web.config
â?¦\ReportManager\web.config
A default installation writes the log files to the directory where Reporting
Services is installed under the LogFiles folder. In order to change the
default location of the log files you need to add the following line under
the RStrace section for each of the above files. Once you have added the
directory line you will need to restart the ReportServer service.
<add name=â'Directoryâ' value=â'your dirâ' />
Example:
<RStrace>
<add name="Directory" value="d:\RSLogs" />
<add name="FileName" value="ReportServerService_" />
<add name="FileSizeLimitMb" value="32" />
<add name="KeepFilesForDays" value="14" />
<add name="Prefix" value="tid, time" />
<add name="TraceListeners" value="debugwindow, file"
/>
<add name="TraceFileMode" value="unique" />
<add name="Components" value="all" />
</RStrace>

Change Location of Logging

What parameter should be changed where in order to send the logging to a separate directory.

THx

Harry,

You can control this by using a "Directory" element in the web.config file for the RS web service and the bin\ReportingtServicesService.exe.config file for the RS Windows service:

default:

custom log file path:

Note that a folder called "LogFiles" will be created under whatever folder you specify. If the path you specify doesn't exist, it will be created. If there's some problem writing log files to that path, the log files will end up in %Temp%.

BTW, this is a "lightly-documented" feature, so it's subject to change without notice in future versions, and it doesn't get the same level of testing that other more well-documented features get.

Change location of an Existing DB in MSDE

Hi everyone,
I have an MSDE database that was created using the osql.exe. By default it gets automatically created in the MSSQL7/data directory.
Does anyone know how i can detach and then re-attach the database from a new location?Refer to SP_ATTACH_DB & SP_DETACH_DB topics in books online.

Also you can mention path for data files while using CREATE DATABASE Statement.|||Have U thought of

1)Backup db
2)copy the mdf & ldf files
3)delete the db
4)create a new db with same name but data files in the new place
5)overwite the new files (s'be same name) with the original files
(Don't know if u have to stop the SQL Service to do this bit)

or do 1) 3) & 4) + restore db

Worth a try

Ye Hah !

Change local variable inside query

/*Given*/

CREATE TABLE [_T1sub] (
[PK] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[FK] [int] NULL ,
[St] [char] (2) NULL ,
[Wt] [int] NULL ,
CONSTRAINT [PK__T1sub] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[PK]
) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

INSERT INTO _T1sub (FK,St,Wt) VALUES (1,'id',10)
INSERT INTO _T1sub (FK,St,Wt) VALUES (2,'nv',20)
INSERT INTO _T1sub (FK,St,Wt) VALUES (3,'wa',30)

/*
Is something like the following possible.
The point is to change the value of the variable
inside the query and use it in the calculated field.

This doesn't compile of course, but is there
a way to accomplish the same thing?
*/

DECLARE @.ndx int

SET @.ndx = 1

SELECT

(a.FK+ (CASE WHEN @.ndx > 0
THEN (SELECT @.ndx = b.Wt
FROM _T1sub b
WHERE b.Wt = a.Wt)
ELSE 0 END)
) as FKplusWT

FROM _T1sub a

/*Output would look like this:*/

FKplusWT
----
11
22
33

/*
I know, I can get this output just by adding
FK+WT. This is not about that.
This is about setting vars inside a query
*/

Hi Otto,

It's not possible to change the value of a variable during the execution
of a SELECT statement. At least not the way you are trying to do it.

You can of course do
SELECT @.var = ..., @.var = ...
FROM table
WHERE ...
but I assume that this is not what you want. You can't mix this format of
the SELECT statement with a SELECT that outputs a result set.

The way I read your example, it would be very easy to have queries where
the result would be dependent on the order in which rows are processed by
SQL Server. Since SQL Server is entirely free in it's choice of processing
order, the results would be unexpected and might even vary from execution
to execution.

Check out the following link to find some good examples of the possible
effects of unexpected processing order on assignments with the SELECT
statement:

Change Local Subscription to Global

Does anyone know how to change a local pull subscription in merge
replication to a global subscription? I tried using
"sp_changemergesubscription" which is executed at the publisher according to
BOL and set a priority other than zero, but I get an error that says a local
subscription cannot be changed to a global subscription.
Is there something I need to execute at the subscriber?
Thanks.
Bill
Hi Bill,
From your descriptions, I understood that you would like to change local
subscription to global subscription. Have I understood you? Correct me if I
was wrong.
Based on my knowledge, unfortunately, we are not able to perform such
changes. We could select local subscription or gloabl subscription when
creating the subscription, however as the error message shows, we cannot
modify it. If you want to do so, you will have to delete the subscription
and then recreate it.
Thank you for your patience and corporation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are always here to be of
assistance!
Sincerely yours,

|||Thank you, Michael. I suspected this was the case, but it is good to get it
verified.
I am doing some testing on setting up an alternate synchronization partner,
and having some trouble with it, so I'll likely have another post on that
issue soon.
Thanks again.
