Datafile Full

Hi NG,
We have a datafile on drive d: and the log file on drive e: and now the
problem is drive d: is running out of space. We are planning to buy a new
hardisk drive f: what should I do next after we install the new hardisk?
Should I create a new datafile and include that in the primary filegroup and
set the new datafile as default. Is that all I need to do?
Thank you in advance.
its 1 option, yes.
just disable the file growth option for the first file (the one on the d
you can also create a new file group and move some tables from the primary
file group to the new one.

Datacenter move.. Plan for SQL Servers

We will be moving to a new datacenter and wondering if there was any article
out there to help me get started on the planning required..
Thanks
This should be no difference than planning to move an instance/database to
another server, assuming you are going to a new server in the new datacenter.

Databases > 100 G

Hi Guys,
We are planning on making a dataware house in our
company. The size is approximately 200 to 400 G. We have
to make a recommendation for a database server. I would
love to say "Sql Server". But frankly I'm not very
confident at this point. How many people on this board
have databases larger than 100 G. Is it feasible to do
this on Sql Server ? I dont want to say Sql Server and
have to eat my words later. Any facts are welcome from
live installations > 100 G.
Thanks,
JackWhilst there is more effort required in the design,architecture and
administration of a 500Gb database as compared to a 500MB database, SQL
Server is more than capable of scaling to these database sizes. You might be
