Data files on log drive

  • Hi there,

    I am busy creating indexes on my tables. One of the tables is about 146 GB in size. I did not have enough space to create the clustered index, so I created another data file within the filegroup and placed it on another drive where the log files reside. The clustered index was created. The query returned results very fast.

    I set off anto-growth on the new data file and enabled in again on the original data file. What are the implications if I delete the new file in the filegroup after the index has been created.

    Regards

  • If you created the clustered index in the new file you effecively moved the table to that file. 😉

  • You can't remove the file without removing all objects from the file.

  • why you want to move the index back from the log drive if the performance is better?
