move everything on one filegroup to another...

  • Just wondering if anyone has a script out there that will move all objects from one filegroup to another filegroup.

    i.e.- I have lots of heavily fragmented indexes and I don't like how big some of the files in a filegroup have grown. I want to say "take everything on the DATA12 filegroup and move it to DATA25". It's important that I get EVERYTHING on DATA12, because I want to be able to delete the underlying files.

    I'll be repeating this with lots of filegroups, so if there is a good script out there for this, I would very much appreciate it.

  • Determine the tables that are on the one filegroup, and rebuild the clustered index on the new filegroup. This will move the data to the new filegroup.

    If you have non-clustered indexes on the filegroup, you may need to drop and recreate on the new filegroup - not sure about that.

    ** Name: 02a. Tables moved to proper filegroups.sql

    ** Description: Script moves tables to proper filegroup if it's not aligned

    with a list which is derived from the model(s).

    Script structure:

    - A list (database, table, filegroup) is created.

    - Existence of all filegroups is checked - quits if there is an

    assumed filegroup that does not exist in the database.

    - Every table in the database is checked against that list.

    - For those having different filegroup a script is built

    and preserved: that script re-creates existing indexes

    (creates with drop existing)

    I.e. it repeats existing indexes

    for the table with the new filegroup specified.

    Since some of the non-clustered indexes may be located in

    a different filegroup, they are moved to the table's filegroup.

    See index (re-)creation script description below.

    - Those scripts are executed within a transaction one-by-one.

    Index (re-)creation script structure:

    1) compose drop index commands list create index commands list

    after existing indexes

    for non-clustered indexes which are located not in the desired

    filegroup or if the clustered index for the table is not in the

    desired filegroup.

    2) compose create index (with drop existing) commands for the clustered

    indexes that are to be moved. For tables without any clustered

    index the PK supporting index is made clustered and recreated with other.

    3) compose create index commands list after existing indexes

    for non-clustered indexes which are located not in the desired

    filegroup or if the clustered index for the table is not in the

    desired filegroup. The index creation command does not include

    filegroup name, so it will be created in the same filegroup

    as the table it belongs to.

    Those commands are saved in a table with following structure:

    - record id (identity)

    - table name

    - sequence number (the same as topics listed just above)

    - index name

    - sql command

    The very structure manipulation script will go through that table

    in order of table name then sequence number then index name

    (latter is just for convinience - to analyze the log).

    There will be a transaction for each table - too costly to make

    it around everything.

    Script comments verbosely its execution process at the run time.

    Script is assumed to be a part of incremental build fixig

    defect XXXXX - DatabaseB database discrepancies and a similar

    one for DatabaseA. They differ only with the table content.

    Script is also is assumed to be a tool for operations team

    parameterized by the table with tables/filegroups

    (see statements inserting data into #desired_layout table variable).

    In order to get all the messages in a printable form the script

    output must be directed to text or a file.

    NOTE: since that script can't move tables with BLOB attribute,

    such tables must be moved before by a separate script(s).

    **

    ** Input Parameters: database/table/filegroup mapping in a form

    of insert statements (see configurable part below).

    ** Returns: a table with database/table/index names with filegroup names

    for each object: original one, configured(desired) one and the final one,

    status of the operation for each index is specified.

    ** Modification History

    ** Sr Date Modified By Reason

    ** 1 05/01/2007 Alexander Karmanov Initial version

    ** 2 07/17/2007 Alexander Karmanov Added DatabaseA database tables,

    added explicit option setting.

    ** 3 11/14/2007 Alexander Karmanov Reconfigured script:

    for tables in XXXXXXXXX repository

    specified PRIMARY filegroup instead of YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
