How can I change the default
location for database files that SQL creates? Change/add the following registry keys :- KEY: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer VALUE: DefaultData VALUE: DefaultLog Just put in a directory name (no trailing backslash) for these. This works only for databases that you create with the CREATE DATABASE statement, not for databases created from Enterprise Manager. (Answer courtesy of Kalen Delaney) |
