where to set transaction file location during the installtion

  •  am going to install sql server 2000 in a new server. The data files are going to be in the F drive and transaction logs are going to be in D drive. I see in the set up of the cd where you can change the location of the datafiles. But I don't see anywhere a place to change the transaction log files. After the set up is done the master (system databases) datafiles hould be in F drive and master logfiles should be in D drive. Could you please tell me where I can change the transaction log file location?

  • In Enterprise manager you can set the default location of both the data files and the transaction log files (for new databases).

    Right Click on the server

    Choose properties

    Choose the database settings tab

    At the bottom there is a section called 'New database default location' with a place to set both these values.

    You can move the existing files eg master, msdb. For this it is best to search the siteas there are a few articles/threads on how to do it correctly.

    Hope this helps

    Steven
