We can move the tables which have Clustered Indexes to another filegroups very easily. And if you want to move a table that does not have any Clustered Indexes then please create one on the table and then move ( ideally we should have Clustered Indexes on every table for performance gains).
Lets first check the properties of the table that has Clustered Indexes:
I am showing this blog with ‘[dbo].[Tbl_ContactOutcomeDetails_History]‘ table in one of my sample database.
sp_help ‘[dbo].[Tbl_ContactOutcomeDetails_History]‘As
As you can see that currently the table is on PRIMARY filegroup. Now we will Move this table to SECONDARY filegroup. We will use the Clustered Index called “IX_Tbl_ContactOutcomeDetails_History_CurrentTime” to move this table to SECONDARY filegroup.
This is the following syntax to move the table along with its Clustered Index to SECONDARY filegroup:
USE [AdventureWorks]
GO
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [IX_Tbl_ContactOutcomeDetails_History_CurrentTime] ON [dbo].[Tbl_ContactOutcomeDetails_History]
(
[CurrentTime] DESC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = ON, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [Secondary]
GO
After this query is successfully executed, let’s check the properties of the Table again:
sp_help ‘[dbo].[Tbl_ContactOutcomeDetails_History]‘
So you can see that we have moved the table from PRIMARY filegroup to SECONDARY filegroup with single command which was not too difficult.
