  • RE: How do I map tables in new schemas to new filegroups ?

    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...

    p.s. 4 year old thread.

    My problem is that he doesn't accept corrections, but will argue (often just repeating himself) forever.
