In SQL Server 2005, 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.
