Hi All!

I have several large tables with a text fields in them. These tables were created, using TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY] option. Now I need to figure out a way to move text data out of PRIMARY into a separate filegroup. The problem is that ALTER TABLE statement does not seem to offer TEXTIMAGE_ON option like CREATE TABLE does. The only way I can accomplish this task at the moment, is to create tables with the same structure as my problem tables, but using TEXTIMAGE_ON [textfilegroup] option, copy the data over, drop original tables, and rename new tables to the original names. I am hoping I can avoid this ordeal, so if you know a good way of doing this, PLEASE let me know.
