By: SQL SERVER – Disable Clustered Index and Data Insert Journey to SQL Authority with Pinal Dave

[...] Due to the same reason even reorganization of the index is not possible till the clustered index (which was disabled) is rebuild. Now let us come to the second part of the question, regarding receiving the error when clustered index is ‘enabled’. This is very common question I receive on the blog. (The following statement is written keeping the syntax of T-SQL in mind) Clustered indexes can be disabled but can not be enabled, they have to rebuild. It is intuitive to think that something which we have ‘disabled’ can be ‘enabled’ but the syntax for the same is ‘rebuild’.

Hi Pinal,

Once again a nice post.

@denny,

One step missed in earlier comment, find the correct steps mentioned below.

You can change the default path for the data and log file in the server properties.

Right click on the SQL instance –> Properties –>Database Settings.

In the Database setting page, under “Database Default Locations’, you can set your custom path for both data and log file.

Hope this will help.

Thanks.
Sudeepta.

gr8 post. very helpful indeed.

could you please spare a minute to answer my question below.
I hv sql 2008 installed. Whenever a new db is created, there is a path defaulted for the data and log files.
Is there any global setting available where this path can be changed, which would be reflected whenever a new db is created.

thx in advance.
Denny
