如何设置SQL数据库的数据和日志文件位置？

Question

I'm trying to create a database where the data and log files are saved to the E drive but not sure how to do so. I've tried:

CREATE DATABASE TachographDataContent_Archive
[ON E:\\MySqlDir\\MSSQL.MSSQLSERVER\\MSSQL\\Data]
[LOG ON {D:\\MySqlDir\\MSSQL.MSSQLSERVER\\MSSQL\\Data}]

And I'm getting this error:

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'IF'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'TachographDataContent_Archive'.

Answer 1

To create database using query, you need to mention .mdf and .ldf file. So try below script.

Like this

CREATE DATABASE [TachographDataContent_Archive]  
ON  PRIMARY (NAME = 'TachographDataContent', FILENAME = 'E:\MySqlDir\MSSQL.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Data\TachographDataContent.mdf')
LOG ON 
(NAME = 'TachographDataContent_log', FILENAME = 'E:\MySqlDir\MSSQL.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Data\TachographDataContent_log.ldf')
GO

good luck...
