moving procedures to other filegroup ?

  • can we move all stored procedures and functions to another file group other than primary filegroup.

  • Hi,

    "Physical Database Files and Filegroups" article in BOL for SQL 2000 says that "All pages for system tables are allocated in the primary filegroup"

    Since all procedures are  text that is stored in syscomments table than they are stored in the Primary filegroup. 

    The very popular alternative of several years ago is to create one database with data tables and another database  with views and procedures. I support a couple of applications designed like that.

  • Yes You are right Varshal ,

    I rather thinking where exactly stored procedures are stored , thinking blindly to store into some other filesystems, like how we do for tables and indexes.

    Thanks a lot .

  • this would be like pulling a cat insideout   (in a matter of speaking )

    If you don't want your table / index objects to reside with your system-info, move them to another filegroup.

    this is a way to do it :

    ALTER DATABASE 'yourdb'

     ADD FILEGROUP 'yournewfilegroupname'

    go

    ALTER DATABASE 'yourdb'

     ADD FILE < filespec >  TO FILEGROUP 'yournewfilegroupname'

    go

    -- Set the new filegroup as default filegroup for new objects

    ALTER DATABASE 'yourdb'

     MODIFY FILEGROUP 'yournewfilegroupname' DEFAULT

    GO

    If you do this on an existing database which contains user-objects, you'll have to move them.
