Adding File

  • Hi,

    I alter the database and added 3 file groups. When I tried to add file to each file group I am getting error message.

    Alter failed for database "Test"

    Backup, file manipulation operations (such as alter database add file) and encryption changes on a database must be serialized. Reissue the statement after the current manipulation operation is completed. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:3023)

    Thanks,

  • can you post the scripts you're using

  • Most likely is that a database backup is in progress, and you can't alter the database files during a backup. Check running processes for a backup, dbcc check, or some other "major" activity that would lock the db structure.
