How do I map tables in new schemas to new filegroups ?

    I have three new schemas in a db and have 25 or so tables in each of those schemas. Now I want to get the existing tables in each schema that are presently in the PRIMARY filegroup to a separate new filegroup for each schema. I would appreciate your comments on how to accomplish that.

    You need to rebuild the clustered indexes onto the new filegroup.

    CREATE INDEX ... WITH DROP_EXISTING specifying ON [NewFileGroup] should work. I seem to recall it works even if the index is part of a primary key, but I'm not totally sure.
