The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SQL 2000 Transaction Log: How to move JUST the log file of a database to a new drive

Asked by mnmorency in MS SQL Server

Tags: , , , ,

I have SQL 2000.  Currently the data file and the transaction log file for a database are located on the same drive.  I just added a new drive to the system and I would like JUST the transaction log for the database moved to the new drive.  I have tried the following:

1. Detach the databse
2. Physically MOVE the .ldf file to the new drive
3. Try to attach the databse (and I get an error that it can't find the transaction log file.)

Then I tried the same steps again but instead I made a COPY of the .ldf file instead of moving it.  I could then attach the database, go into the properties screen, select the "Transaction Log" tab, and try to point it to the new location.  This also did not work (sorry, I do not have the error message with me right now.)

Do I even have to move the current transaction log file, or can I just have the database create a new .ldf file on the new drive, make it the primary log file, and then delete the other one?  If so, what is the best way to do this?

Thanks, MarkStart Free Trial
