    Are I can spread my database filegroup files to more than storage drive , not on the same storage drive , and stay connected logically as if they in the same drive , for example I want create filegroup named filegroup1 consist of these files : Data1.mdf

    Data2.ndf , Data3.ndf and I want to put every file in different storage drive , I will put Data1.mdf in Drive D , Data2.ndf in Drive F , Data3.ndf in Drive G and SQL Server will read them as filegroup despite they not in the same physical place , If this possible how can I do that

    It is absolutely possible. Please refer to Books Online as to how. Lookup "filegroup".

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
