Hi guys, hope you can help me here...

Let's say you have a database with only the primary filegroup defined.
The drive gets filled up and you can't truncate or archive any of the files there, but you have an extra drive that is not being used yet

1. Will adding a filegroup (defined on the extra drive) solve the problem of disk space?
2. If we've added the the filegroup, will saving automatically redirect to the new filegroup or do we need to do some "special tweaking"?

TIA

Once you've added the filegroup, you need to redirect objects to it. By default, all objects are created on the primary filegroup.
