[!INCLUDE SQL Server] In [!INCLUDEssNoVersion], you can move system and user databases by specifying the new file location in the FILENAME clause of the ALTER DATABASE statement. Data, log, and full-text catalog files can be moved in this way. This may be useful in the following situations:
-
Failure recovery. For example, the database is in suspect mode or has shut down, because of a hardware failure.
-
Planned relocation.
-
Relocation for scheduled disk maintenance.
