Re: Move DB File Locations - SQL 05



There is no impelling reason to move Master, Model or MSDB but you may want
to move tempdb data file to the raid 10 and the log file to the Raid 1 along
with the user db files. These should help:

I just installed SQL Svr 2005 STD and the default install put all my data
and
log files into a default location (c:\Program Files\...), but I want to
move
my log files to a RAID 1 D: drive, and my Data Files to a RAID 10 E:
drive.

What is the best way to get this done?

Should I change to location of these files for all the system databases
(master, model, tempdb, msdb)?
