I have SQL Server 2008 Ent
and OLTP database
with two big tables. How I can move these tables to another filegroup
without service int
This excerpt from SQL Server Books Online says it all: "Because the leaf level of a clustered index and the data pages are the same by definition, creating a clustered index and using the ON partition_scheme_name or ON filegroup_name clause effectively moves a table from the filegroup on which the table was created to the new partition scheme or filegroup." (Source - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188783.aspx) from (http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2442/move-data-between-sql-server-database-filegroups/)
as already said by other friends like accepted answer by marc_s following is the screenshot gives you another way to do it using SSMS GUI.
please note that you can move to another filegroup easily of the index property in storage tab
