| Why would you want to do that?What benefit do you think you will get or are looking for?==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |

| Are you suggesting that keeping everything in filegroup(mdf file) will is a setting i can live with.If not what should i do. I thought it was recommended to have the index filegroup and the data filegroup seperate for performance benefits.thanks |

| You only seperate them for performance if you are going to put them on different physical disks or need to break the backups apart into file backups. Otherwise, there isn't a huge benefit to the overhead of maintaining them.MeanOldDBAderrickleggett@hotmail.comWhen life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA. |
