Use the query below to move the database files<br />
<br />
use Databasename<br />
go<br />
Alter database Databasename modify file (name = Databasenamefilename , filename = 'D:\Foldername\Databasenam<wbr />efilename.<wbr />mdf')<br />

Alter database Databasename modify file (name = DatabasenameLogname , filename = 'D:\Foldername\Databasenam<wbr />eLogname.l<wbr />df')<br />
go<br />
<br />
You will need to replace the names accordingly for it to work.<br />

Hope it helps.<br />

Afifos,

Use the query below to move the database files

use Databasename
go
Alter database Databasename modify file (name = Databasenamefilename , filename = 'D:\Foldername\Databasenamefilename.mdf')
go
Alter database Databasename modify file (name = DatabasenameLogname , filename = 'D:\Foldername\DatabasenameLogname.ldf')
go

You will need to replace the names accordingly for it to work.

Hope it helps.

Move SQL Server 2005 database files to a new folder location

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. It includes support for managing XML data and allows a database server to be exposed over web services using Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets encapsulated within SOAP (protocol) requests.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005

SQL (Structured Query Language) is designed to be used in conjunction with relational database products as of a means of working with sets of data. SQL consists of data definition, data manipulation, and procedural elements. Its scope includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control.
