  • Good question πŸ™‚

  • Very nice question.

    Slightly different than the one, we get generally !!

    Thanks.

  • Thanks for the question, and the note so we know what to watch out for.

  • Good question! I also want to recommend everyone to create one or more filegroup for user objects (like tables and indexes) and never place any user object in primary filegroup. If you separate the user objects from the system objects the database will be online even if you get a drive failure for the secondary filegroup (Enterprise feature).
