Question of the Day
Local Storage Options
I'm setting up a SQL Server 2019 instance and we are planning on using SMB storage for our database files. However, the file share isn't ready, so the idea is to use the \127.0.0.1dbfile as the location to start and then move these files to the remote server. Can I do this?
