Issue with filegroups

  • Hello folks,

    I have an issue...We have a database in production server with filegroups.....I want to create a backup of the database on the production and restore it in the staging environment...but here is the problem.....

    Our staging environment is in developer edition(SQL server) and so i cannot create the filegroups....How do i restore the production database in the staging environment??......any input is highly appreciated

    Thanks & Regards

  • There is no reason why Developer Edition would prevent you from creating filegroups.

  • Please find the attachment for the screenshot(error message)....

  • DEVELOPER EDITION = ENTERPRISE EDITION with a caveat that you cannot use Developer edition for production purpose.

    You can create and restore them on Dev edtio too.

  • Sorry...my bad, that's a Standard edition

  • The error message explains it fairly well, and it has nothing to do with filegroups.

    That feature is only supported by Enterprise Edition or Developer Edition.

  • I know it is not supported....I need to figure out a way to restore the data from production to the development environment

  • Since you have enterprise edition on the production server, my suggestion is to install same (=Developer) edition on staging and development servers too.

    TO me it seems to be a issue with table partitioning.... and this feature is only available with SQL Server EE.. http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/enterprise-compare-editions.aspx

  • I agree on the Table Partitioning error!

  • Yes standard and express edition doesn't support partitioning too, it's only possible in enterprise and developer edition
